Hi All,
First time poster here.
I've taken the plunge and trying to make my first at a xmas light show that's not just flashing lights with no real control.
I've setup an RPi2 with LightshowPi and managed to get individual LED's connected via a breadboard and multiple GPIO's to dance to an mp3 file.
That all worked great and now my next step is to wire some dumb lights up to an 8 channel relay which I'll be doing over the weekend.
One thing I'm interested in is led strips and was wondering if the WS2812B can be connected to the Pi and sync to music via LightshowPI?
I had no issues connecting the WS2812B directly to the Pi and writing some python scripts to get some effects.
I can see looking in the LightshowPi config files that the WS2812B is supporting but only via serial?
Appreciate any help any of you can provide.
I've already posted on the LightshowPi reddit group but was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback here.
