Hi there everyone,
I'm new to this site!
I joined because I would love to expand my knowledge when it comes to electronics.
Here's my current project, which I would really appreciate any advice for:
I plan to create a flexible LED matrix using WS2812B addressable LED lights.
This is for a visor in a helmet, which will light up - I would love to be able to display words and patterns on the matrix, which would involve coding/finding a code - I would probably use a simple app on my phone through Bluetooth (I've seen videos where people have done this).
all I know is that it'll need a switch, I assume some sort of Bluetooth thing, something to upload the code to and a battery (but i don't know what voltage or anything).
Other than this I have no clue what other components I would need, how I would go about processing the code.
If anyone has any advice I would REALLY appreciate it! Thank you!!!
