G+_Grant Madson Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yes you can, look at the fastLEDs library on github. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Bleck Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Every tutorial ive seen, they don;t use SuperNight, but a Diffferent Brand Name, The Episode when Fr. Robert Ballecer, Soldered the LEDS, they were A $36 Roll,, I cannot remember the brand name. of what he used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Grant Madson Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Read up on the LEDs you have and plug it into the fastLEDs program. If you need additional help look at the arduino and LED classes available for free at instructables.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jim Hofmann Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 You're going to need a driver circuit. You cannot drive the 12vdc strip directly. Padre mentioned a commercial one or you can build your own with 3 FET's. I think I got my design off Adafruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
