Some of the best ideas happen in the midst of working on a project. This was true for Jason at Evil Genius Labs when he was hand-wiring a layout of addressable RGB LEDs and realized that there was a better and more professional way to accomplish the task.
Thus the Nano RGB LED Race Gate Controller was born. This shield/breakout for Arduino Nano v3 makes it far easier to control addressable RGB LEDs. These include models like the WS2811, WS2812, and the SK6812.
Once you have the board in hand, you’ll need the Arduino nano, an LED strip, 470 ohm resistors, tactile button switches, a 3D printed case, a white PEX pipe, and white floral foam. Everything is listed on the store page that you’ll need to assemble the finished project.
The video below shows everything working when it’s all set up.
