Hi, I’m looking to create a 1m tube filled with WS2811 LED strip. I’ve got a few effects that I would like to run through the tubes via an Arduino. Ideally each one should be a different Arduino file that can be loaded onto the tube each time in order to change it. Ideally the arduino will have more than one data output. Maybe 2... One for each side of the tube. Inside the tube there are 8 vertical runs of LED. Each run is 55 LEDs long. Each LED is individually controlled. In total the tube has 440 LEDs / pixels. As I’ve not built the tubes yet you can tell me the best way to wire them in but ideally id like them zigzagged so the end of one is at the top to link straight into the start of the next donw, however, If you want them all to start with the data at the bottom it can be done. The pic illustrates what it will look like. When programming the arduino all colours should be a 0-255 or 0-100% for each colour ie, RGB. Ideally they should be sync able via a cable if required as in total ill be making 2 tubes. They should be able to run independent or synced. I’m happy to have a ‘master slave’ setup on the ardino file so I can set one in master and one in slave when uploading the program. I would like the following effects, the bullet points indicate adjustable parameters set on the arduino before uploading. Sparkle/Twinkle A 2 colour sparkle effect, one a background colour, the second a sparkle/twinkle colour. • Colour 1 • Colour 2 • Density • Speed Dual 2 colour fade running up the tube. You should be able to set the direction (if it runs up the tube or around), it should also have an offset so you can create a candy cane style chase. • Colour 1 • Colour 2 • Direction (up or round) • Offset • Speed ( 0 - Speed / should have a static option) Rainbow Rainbow effect running up or around the tube. • Direction (up or round) • Speed Rainbow Block Rainbow effect but as one block – All LEDs the same colour. This can be a parameter within the rainbow file or as a separate one. • Speed Falling Glitter A falling glitter effect. 2 colours, one background colour, one effect colour. The falling effect should be spread around the tube. • Colour 1 • Colour 2 • Speed

Hi sir, We are the expert of led applications based on arduino. We have used arduino to transform music into dancing leds etc. We have used LEDs to display the various messages and colours, so your project is quite easy for us. We offer you our solution at very affordable rates. We are very much looking forward to hear from you. We are team of expert engineers who are sound experienced in embedded systems (arduino + other microcontrollers), programming, circuit designs, electronics, product designs, pcb layouts etc. We offer you our services at very low rates. Please discuss your project in detail. We will deliver design and code, if you want us to send you prototype, you have to pay additional charges of prototyping and courier such as dhl etc. We are very friendly in nature and will help our clients during and after projects completion. We are flexible in communications and rates. Very much looking forward to hear from you on this in coming days. Regards, Ahmed Lead Technical Engineer Turktroniks

I am an expert Arduino Programmer having experience with "ws2811 and sk6812 LED" strips. I made a doll house project to control Multiple LED strips. I have taught arduino workshops as a Teacher Assistant I am also an expert at PIC microcontroller programming. I have made a similar project like yours. Project Details are as follows: 1. 16 RGB LEDS as a decorative lights for room. 2. Making RGB lights to create fade and blink effects to inputs like switch, time, and music beats. 3. ws6812 and sk6812 doll house project with multiple length strips. (Check my review for doll house project as a proof of my work.) I am the best candidate for you for this project as i have relevant experience with a similar project as i have mentioned earlier. Please share anymore details of your project in inbox. My other Arduino Based Projects: 1. Warehouse automation using Line Follower 2. IoT based Warehouse Automation (ESP8266) 3. Fire fighting Robot (As an assistant to the project). 4. Remote monitoring of home and industry through Internet of Inbox me for any kind of queries. I will design the best a sketch for you.

Hi, I have neopixel strips (from Adafruit) with WS2811and neo pixel rings. I have created such lighting effects for personal use. We can create a light box like the picture you have posted. We can keep arduino controlling the pixels and we can have options to switch the effects by using switches or remote or even using bluetooth making it smart light. There can be additional functional like mood light, light in sync with clock etc. But that requires extensive circuitry (using additional processor or by controlling using app). There are more options to place the LEDs. It can be vertical runs or a spiral runs. We need to design this such that it will ease the software to get good illumination and effects. Thanks!

Hello, I'am research & development engineer in apparel company. I did several arduino projects in the our automation projects. Some are RF trans-receiving projects. Some are SIM900 GSM projects.I have some VB.net applications develop by my self for the Arduino programming without any programming knowledge. Also i have worked with X bee RF module too. I have did some projects by using the USB host shield. I can controll the keyboard,mouse,webcam etc by the usb host shield. I can do the raspberry pi B+ projects. I have one & i can do lot. Kindly give this project for me i'll do my very best for you. Thanks, Renuka
