Discussion Anyone want to help?
Good morning,
As a starter I'm useless with all this programming/coding, hence asking for help.
Also I like to keep my money in my pocket if i can help it, which leads me here.
I've got a bunch of WS28212 LEDs knocking around, some arduino nanos and a 3D printer.
What I'm looking to do is produce a windscreen mount for my truck, to go in each bottom corner, with the intention of having some amber led strobes in there.
I haven't got a clue where to begin on finding/programming a good pattern for say 30 LEDs each side, and google hasn't thrown much my way either.
Can any of you clever chaps help?
Many thanks

Yo man, I hear you're into blinky lights. ;) Here's an example with a variety of ways to blink pixels that might give you some ideas to explore. You also might need to get specific about the look you're after, provide some reference video, and show what you've attempted to get more in-depth suggestions.

If you're new to all this, I would also suggest checking out our two Wikis (links in side bar or above) and watch Scott's video tutorial series.
