Universal Led is an USB device based on an Arduino nano (clone) to easily control 5 leds on Windows
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgvi46x4oaE
You can choose 6 color for each leds. (White/Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/Orange/Purple)
- Install drivers for arduino nano (clone ch340g) : http://nano.madnerd.org
- Download arduino/python code : http://uled.madnerd.org
- Upload sketch uled.ino
- Download application : http://uledapp.madnerd.org
How to install drivers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3CsftsfiQU
- Arduino nano CH340G: 2€
- 30 leds WS2812B : 4.50€ ( 5 leds :0.75€)
- Resistor pack 400pcs (3€) (1 resistor: 0.0071€)
- Total : 9.5€ (2.75€)
Wiring / How to make it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgvi46x4oaE
Do not used more than 5 leds without a dedicated power supply or this can damage the leds
Each led can draw up to 60ma at full brightness
An Arduino can provided up to 500ma (on 5v/Gnd pin)
5 leds = 5x60ma = 300ma

- D6 --> RESISTOR (470Ohm) DI
- +5V --> 5V
- GND --> GND
This model is an all purpose case for arduino nano projects

You will need to fill a hole for the led strip (see wiring instructions)
- Check out: http://github.com/pigetArduino/utest
- The source code is available in apps/utest
You can test the device in Arduino Serial Monitor
Baudrate : 115200 / No Line Ending
- ULed --------> Check if device is correct (turn off all led)
- X:Y -------> (Where X is the led and Y the color)
- 1:3 -------> (led 1 Green)
- 0 : OFF
- 1 : White/ON
- 2 : Red
- 3 : Green
- 4 : Blue
- 5 : Yellow
