These LEDs are simple to control and can be used to produce a whole range of fantastic colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost consumer electronics heavily rely on LEDs, as LEDs are a great way of providing instant visual feedback for the user. With this add-on pack, you will learn how to write code to take control of ZIP LEDs and also learn how to make ZIP LEDs respond to input from components such as potentiometers and sensors. There are ten experiments, 9 in the booklet and one online, that will help you develop the skills needed to add visual feedback to your projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZIP LEDs are individually addressable RGB LEDs. The name is a nod to the ZIP postal codes used in the US. Each LED can be controlled independently and all LEDs are connected using the same three-wire bus. Each LED can produce a full spectrum of colours, independently of other LEDs on the same bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZIP LEDs are based on the WS2812B part and are often referred to as NeoPixel’s (which is an Adafruit trademark) and are compatible with Adafruit NeoPixel and other WS2812B driver code.
