Arduino project that animates WS2812 LEDs decorating a UFO prop by an IR remote control.
A video of all of the patterns combined with the overlays
Simplified code to make it more easy to demo all of the patterns
N.B.
--This projects compiles to a large hex file that only fits on an Arduino with 32k of program storage space and that uses a bootloader that is 0.5k (i.e. optiboot with the boot flash section size = 256 words). It should fit fine on an Uno. I developed the code on a Nano, but had to change its fuse settings and bootloader.
--This code hasn't been tested on an LED strip longer than 60 LEDs. It might have problems with an LED strip longer than 255 LEDs.
