@orayoflighto NICE!!! What light strips did you use?
-
I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:

I used this python code:

@orayoflighto VERY nice, Thank you!!!
You outta do a write up with instructions! MANY people would love this!

Just to add some depth to this… If you really want to go “crazy” with animations, I’m recommending Bibliopixel and PixelWeb. Then you can “animate” lot’s and trigger them with a curl “command”. Plus you get a nice Web-interface to test the animations in. :)

To quote myself…
Can i use any sorts of led strips? Im looking to buy something from a store and not order online if possible.
Im in norway so if anyone knows something i could buy please let me know! -
Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.
Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

Any stats etc on comparison between LPD, APA102, WS2812 and SK series. I find that WS2812B isn’t always able to render all colors properly.
