Control your NeoPixel LED strip from your phone or tablet.

Change the strip's color, continuously, and in real-time... turn it on and off... all, from the convenience of your Android device.

Getting started is really easy:

* Take an Arduino Ethernet and a NeoPixel LED strip.

* Upload the provided code on the Arduino, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps://codebender.cc/sketch:31742%26sa%3DD%26usg%3DAFQjCNGa-asFUOVk7l5dj4fEdAFAsnI8Jg&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNEZ8_4yLsTCGDauresYAhe2ZC2GBA" target="_blank">https://codebender.cc/sketch:31742</a>. (Read the comments for instructions.)

* Connect the Arduino to your local network.

* Install the app, go to settings and specify the network parameters for your Arduino Web Server. If you see the "Hello from Arduino Server" message, then you know the setup is correct.

That's it! Enjoy

Update:

I developed ArduinoPixel for personal use, but then I decided to share it. The app offers only those features I needed at that moment, realizing though that NeoPixels can do much more interesting things than simply light up. By now, enough people have used the app and responded with some positive feedback and ideas that I wanted to do something about it. In the near future, I intend to start working on the app again. If you have any requests and features you'd like to see implemented, please send me an email and tell me about them. I'll make sure to take your input into account.

Some ideas I have in mind about the project/app:

* Develop a web interface to allow the use from a web browser

* Set the turn on/off times of the strip in order to operate autonomously

* Allow the use of multiple strips

* Set two colors and a period of time, so that the strip can gradually cycle between them

* Add support for the $3 ESP8266 WiFi enabled boards
