In this first video in the Arduino essentials series, we go through how to program it to control an RGB LED strip that is individually addressable. By some, referred to as Neopixel, this can take creative projects to a whole new level. There are many tools that can be bought which implements fancy effects for you, but there is nothing quite like being able to write your own code to control your projects.
