Spectrum was designed to control NeoPixel LED's through a native desktop app (similarly to Asus Aura or Razer Chroma). With Spectrum though you will have the ability to use any type of LED that works with the NeoPixel Library and any controller that can receive serial input. I am designing Spectrum to work with as many devices as possible in order to give more freedom to the user. With the proper modifications Spectrum will also be able to control almost anything connected to an Arduino Board. This type of user freedom is my first priority with Spectrum and all the code is written around it.
In order to use Spectrum you will need the following items
- Arduino Board (most boards should work, but I prefer the Adafruit Metro Mini or Arduino Uno)
- RGB LED's compatible with the NeoPixel Arduino Library (Brand I Use)
- USB Cord
- OPTIONAL: Power Adapter (you may need this to power the LED strand if you exceed 60 LED's)
- Spectrum Requires Windows 7 or higher
- Arduino IDE and all necessary drivers for your Arduino Board
