Re: LEDs with Ethernet Microcontroller for FRC Competition Robot

Thank you of course this was very helpful, but our LEDs only have one data/clock wire (not sure which, probably data) so we are not sure if we should attempt to modify the example or see what else we can find.

If these are WS2812B LED's, as the AM site suggests that they are, they will only have three signal wires: +5vdc, Gnd, Signal (or sometimes called Data).

The Adafruit libraries and examples, mentioned by Chris, can teach you what you need to get started.
I would suggest opening one of the examples and then running it to see if it works. If not, figure out where the problem is. Once running, "Save-as" to a new location. Then use the saved version to start tinkering.

Re: LEDs with Ethernet Microcontroller for FRC Competition Robot
