How to lighting the RGB LED

Install Library

  1. Install library from github:
  • Librarys:[NeoPixel_Bus] from Makuna
  • Download libraries and put it in the libraries folder in the installation directory of the Arduino IDE

  1. Install Library by Manage Libraries:
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Programe Code

  • Open Arduino IDE

click 'file'->'Example'->'NeoPixel Bus'->'simple' to open the example

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  • We need to change some code,Find the code below in the code

const uint16_t PixelCount = 4; // this example assumes 4 pixels, making it smaller will cause a failure const uint8_t PixelPin = 2; // make sure to set this to the correct pin, ignored for Esp8266

  • change to

const uint16_t PixelCount = 25; // this example assumes 4 pixels, making it smaller will cause a failure const uint8_t PixelPin = 4; // make sure to set this to the correct pin, ignored for Esp8266


  • Then add the following code to void setup()
  1. define LED_POWER 2

pinMode(LED_POWER, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(LED_POWER, HIGH);

  • Compile this program

And download it(Set the serial port and board)
