Is there a good source of long strings of addressable lights that doesn't involve any soldering or cutting up wires to get the power right? I have bad luck with actual hardware projects and they usually end with the magic smoke escaping, so I'm really looking for something I can plug into a working power supply that's included in the box and can talk to over like a serial port or something else that I can just plug into a USB port.
- brk 6y agoThere are several options, search for "WS2811 LED String" for starters. I have used the same string (more or less) that OP shows in the video with ESP32's and/or Pixelblaze controllers for various projects.
- xnyan 6y ago> that doesn't involve any soldering You do you, but if I may suggest that if electronics projects interest you at all, it’s worth a little bit of time to learn some basic soldering skills. Not only will it give you a lot of flexibility, even just a little investment of time in learning basic soldering techniques will almost certainly save you time in the long run.
