Solid Music LED Controller

I'd like to start by saying I'm very happy with the quality of music playback; This turned out to be way better than anything I've coded for the Arduino. It's from China and has the typical bad documentation, but I won't deduct anything for that; Given the price I am very satisfied. I first burned a short strip of 2812s which I tested by powering them with 12v instead of the 5v needed. Something to keep in mind if you're used to working with 12v 5050 options. It's also worth noting that it…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No Instructions

Cool little controller

Caution; If you're going to use this thing with a 5 volt light strip, make sure you give it 5 volts. When I first plugged it in, I ran a 20 foot extension between the power supply and the controller. Everything glowed beautifully. All the color patterns worked, but the musical effects seemed like they were maxed out even in total silence. I went to YouTube and found a video of a person having the same problem. I assumed it was broken and ordered a second one but ran into the same problem. After

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

The color cannot be set to WHITE.

Controller works great with 12v bulbs. I connected it to a WS2811 RGB LED string. It reacts to music and has several different animations for music and non-music and you can scroll through the colors (about 30 in total). However, there is no way to set the LEDs to white. One of the animations is green and white, and that's the only way to get some white. You can't just make them white. I know what you're thinking. Why do you need RGB lighting when all you want is white? Because 12V addressable…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
