8x8 RGB LED Matrix Demo (Banggood sale)

Just a little demonstration of an inexpensive 8x8 RGB LED matrix (WS2812), controlled via a single data line using an Arduino-style Mega 2560 board and the FastLED library. This demo consists of four parts: - a cycle throught the hue spectrum at 100% saturation - a few random passes throught the hue/saturation spectrum - a very simple fire simulation - a "fireworks" pattern This LED matrix is incredibly bright. For the first part, I'm only using about 60% of the intensity possible, and it still tends to overload the camera sensors. I've put a single sheet of paper on top of the matrix to even out the light from the very small and very bright LED spots. http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-CJMCU-64-Bit-WS2812-5050-RGB-LED-Driver-Development-Board-wp-Eu-981678.html?p=O9011156803952016080 http://fastled.io
