This is a short video showing some of the functions this christmas tree lights has.
Using a infrared remote known from the standard chinese RGB LEDs which speak the NEC protocol, i can select between various modes, colors, speeds etc.
On a second IO-Port i attached a 10x10 WS2812B matrix as some kind of display for setup menus.
Using these menus, i can configure the number of LEDs on the stripe, if random colors should be used and so on.
Every operating mode has its own setup menu.
Aside of the IR remote functions (which allows me to set mixed colors between those on the remote) it can be controlled via USB too. I also attached a RFM12 module (433 MHz) but it will be replaced with a ESP8266 which i received a week ago.
Over USB my C# program can set every single pixel individually or all at once. I planned to detect the LED's positions and so be able to do some extra fancy stuff ;)
