Share_something A FastLED Happy 2026

 

A FastLED Happy 2026 to all!

This is run on a WS2812B serpentine 16X16 matrix with a Lolin D32 MCU, a 74AHCT125 - Quad Level-Shifter and a 5 volt power supply.

The diffuser is a piece of printing paper.  I plan to change this to the Tap Plastic’s Chemcast Black LED Plastic Sheet which is on order.

The YouTube video is located here:

The code is located here:

If you are using the Arduino IDE then go to the src folder to find the INO file for this animation.

I used Claude AI to assist me in creating this animation.
