The LED Pixel Master Course

Hi there! Welcome to The LEDPixel Master Course, the ultimate online resource for creating interactive lighting projectswith LEDpixels! Most commonly arranged inLEDstrips, LEDpixels are found all over the worldat light festivals, concerts, arcades and Christmas light displays. As a software engineer, I’ve spent years working onsystems that are completelyinvisible to end users. It’s hard to explain to your family what exactly you do all day when you work on systems like these. When working with LEDpixels, however, the results of your work are immediately visible and everybody can enjoy the results! By taking this course, you’ll learn to harness this power to make visually stunning works of art that you can proudly show off to anyone, whether they’re 1 or 100 years old! Why should Itake this course?Good question! You can learn bits and piecesthrough online videos, but this course is by far the most comprehensive LEDpixelresource you’ll find. Here are just a few reasons why: Westart at the very beginning, learning allabout LEDpixels and what they can do. Instead of just taking the success path to project completion, we take the time to talk about common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Webuild our projects with a strongfocus on safety and reliability in terms of soldering, powering and programming our devices. You’ll be given regular challenges throughout the course to test your skills, and we’llwork through the solutions together. The course content will continue to grow, with funnew topics and projects being added regularly! What will we cover in this course?Throughout the course we’ll: Learn about the bestcomponents to use and where to buy them online. Make use of theArduino platform and FastLEDto easily communicate with LEDpixels. Use FastLED to create stunning visual effects. Power our projects in a safe and reliable manner, learning about important limitations and safety considerations. Solder useful connections for powering and communicating with LEDstrips. Create a fully-functional, reflex-based bomb defusal game using buttons and an LEDstrip.I am truly passionate about creating fun, interactive projects that make people happy. Join me in this course, and discover just how fun and easy it can be to make something amazing!
