Story

Hey guys, welcome back to Techatronic, today we are going to make a very interesting project which is related to light. I hope you heard about the RGB and pixel light at many places like decorations, vehicles, light bulbs, and many more. so, today we are going to work on the WS2811 with Arduino Bluetooth control using an Android app.

Every one of the means we will give you to make that arrangement. There we will make an android application with the assistance of the MIT application designer and control the light's tone and example with a similar android application. if you have any desire to cause the undertaking to kindly keep on the page and adhere to the guidelines.

Introduction

WS2811 is an IC that makes the RGB light addressable. addressable lights are easy to program with lots of effects. I have done a lot of projects with the same pixel ws2811 light. usually, this RGB light purpose in the improvement of homes, shops, cafés, and bars. In this way, here we are making it simple by controlling ws2811 with Arduino utilizing cell phones. for that, we will utilize the MIT application creator.

there are two cycles to do this task initially is to make the android application and another is the circuit and coding part. So let’s get started with the first process to make the WS2811 with Arduino Bluetooth control using an Android app. we have made also many projects in which we have used the same android app such as Bluetooth control RC car.

Components Required:-

Arduino Uno

WS2811 Pixel strip

Bluetooth HC-05

Jumper wire

The circuit and code are also given in the post you can download it.

I have made the PCB for this project from I PCBWay I found the best PCB service for my project.

Code

code

#include <FastLED.h>

#define LED_PINA    13

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(4, 5); // RX, TX


#define NUM_LEDS  100

CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
void setup() {
  
   FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, LED_PINA, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);

 
  mySerial.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

int q;
  
if(mySerial.available()>0)

{
  char m = mySerial.read();
 Serial.println(m);
 
//  Serial.println(t);
  switch (m)
  {





// warm slowly pattern start here (RED)
    
  case 'A':
  while(1)
  {
if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }
 for(q=0; q<=90; q++){
    if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }
  for ( i = 0; i <=NUM_LEDS; i++ )
{   
  
  leds[i] = CRGB ( 255,0, 0);
    
  if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }}
FastLED.setBrightness(  q);
FastLED.show();
delay(d);  
 if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }
   }

   

for(q=90; q>=0; q--){
    if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }
  for ( i = 0; i <=NUM_LEDS; i++ )
{   
  
  leds[i] = CRGB ( 255,0, 0);
    
  if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }}
FastLED.setBrightness(  q);
FastLED.show();
delay(d);  
 if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }
   }



if(mySerial.available()>0)
{  
break; }

}



// warm slowly pattern end here (RED)

// warm slowly pattern start here (BLUE)




case 'B':
  while(1)
  {

 for(q=0; q<=90; q++){
    
  for ( i = 0; i <=NUM_LEDS; i++ )
{   
  
  leds[i] = CRGB ( 0,255, 0);
    
  }
FastLED.setBrightness(  q);
FastLED.show();
delay(d);  
 
   }

   

for(q=90; q>=0; q--){
    
  for ( i = 0; i <=NUM_LEDS; i++ )
{   
  
  leds[i] = CRGB ( 0,255, 0);
    
 }
FastLED.setBrightness(  q);
FastLED.show();
delay(d);  
 
   }
