# Adalight-FastLED ![Adalight-Rainbow](http://i.imgur.com/sHygxq9.jpg) ## Synopsis This project modifies the Adalight protocol to use [FastLED](https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED) ([fastled.io](http://fastled.io)). This expands Adalight to, in theory, work with *[any supported FastLED strip](https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Chipset-reference)* including WS2812B (aka Adafruit NeoPixels). In addition to ambilight setups, the protocol can be used to stream *any* color data from a computer to supported LED strips. ## Configuration Open the LEDstream_FastLED file in the Arduino IDE and customize the settings at the top for your setup. You will need to change: - Number of LEDs - LED data pin - LED type Additional settings allow for adjusting: - Max brightness - LED color order - Serial speed - Serial timeout length There are also optional settings to clear the LEDs on reset, configure a dedicated ground pin, and to put the Arduino into a "calibration" mode, where all LED colors match the first LED. Upload to your Arduino and use a corresponding PC application to stream color data. You can get the Processing files from the [main Adalight repository](https://github.com/adafruit/Adalight), though I would recommend using [Patrick Siegler's](https://github.com/psieg/) fork of Lightpacks's Prismatik, which you can find [here](https://github.com/psieg/Lightpack). ## Issues and LED-types I've only tested the code with the WS2812B strips I have on hand, but so far it performs flawlessly. If you find an issue with the code or can confirm that it works with another chipset, please let me know! ## Credits and Contributions Thanks to Adafruit for the initial code and the Adalight protocol. The base for the original FastLED modifications is [this gist](https://gist.github.com/jamesabruce/09d79a56d270ed37870c) by [James Bruce](https://github.com/jamesabruce). Thanks James!
