Today's live hack, we'll play with the Arduino and see if we can get it to control NeoPixels by using the existing NeoPixel Blaster control. Then, there's the new EZBPi Server for the Raspberry Pi - we should check that out for sure! We'll always talk about other things as well, like the development of Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi.
Hello @ggr_scott
There's couple options out there:
Build from the source-available design for the Neopixel Blaster: https://github.com/synthiam/E-21_Neopixel_Blaster
Use an Arduino to generate the neopixel LED signal and trigger the sequences from a Raspi or EZ-Bv4 with UART or I2C communication.
Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks Jeremie.
I was looking for something a little more plug n play. So, since I'm a tax attorney and not technically inclined, building my own blaster is out, at least for know.
I'll keep looking.

Scott, take a look at Adafruit and see if they have a neopixel controller. If they do, we can always make a skill control for it so it works in ARC. Let us know what you find
Thanks DJ.
I'll have a better idea of what lights I'll need for my project once I sketch out what my boys actually want to create / hack.

Looks like there some more Neopixel discussion over here!
Just watched this video, what can I say, Ez- Robot wins again
:-)
lol You guys are so cool I smile every time I watch one of your vids. Wish I got into this tech yrs ago. Keep up the good work mate.
Cant wait to see addressable LEDs on Iotiny and EZ-Bv4
