I have a project coming up where I need to illuminate the profile of a mannequin with ‘twinkling stars’.
I will need to fade up/down anywhere from 3 to 8 of the addressable LEDs at a time (coded for random selection with ample spacing) with either a Trinket or Pro Trinket (that’s what I have available).
I will be coding for ‘slightly’ bluish and yellowish colors that fade up to pure white then back to off.
I have done this with a Pro Trinket and a single RGB LED, but I have just entered a whole new realm of ‘maker-dom’.
Questions:
1. Do I need to go with RGBW or will RGB LEDs suffice (setting all 3 RGB PWMs to 0 to achieve white)?
2. Which strips can be ‘hidden’ from audience view better (Under tulle)… NeoPixels or Dotstars?
3. Which of the two are better suited for this type of project?
4. Is this even possible since these devices (Trinkets) do not support ‘threading’ (I think)?
Thanks for any and ALL replies,
Johnny
