How to build an led array. I am trying to create an array of strips and then loop through this array to trigger effects. Install one row of leds at a time. The straighter the rows, the better your display.

As shown, there are eight rows and eight columns in the array. If you use rgbs, you will be stuck with providing 3 current limiting resistors per led. Here are the four formulas to select the leds.

So i'm using a lucas style taillight on my current build, only problem is with the 12v bulb it protrudes far too much. Open arduino ide, select the right board and port. Other wires must be inserted starting from port 2 and upward until you run out of wires.

Solder one leg of each led at a time so you can make minor adjustments to their position. That will be 300 for your setup. Put one wire in ground (gnd on arduino uno digital side).

On arduino ide, go to file examples ezled. All that stuff used there for making the led arrays could be bought at radio shack at one time but now it has to be ordered online as they quit carrying that stuff for the most part. Insert led array on bread board.

So you will need the basic set of tools for this project : Bought a cheap led trailer light, planned to. Where electronics enthusiasts find answers.
