Things used in this project

Hardware components

Adafruit Trinket 5V

Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - 60 LED/m - WHITE

ALITOVE 5m WS2812B Individually Addressable LED Strip Light 16.4ft 300 SMD 5050 RGB Dream Color LED Pixel String Light Non-waterproof White PCB DC 5V for Arduino

For version 2 of my project I switched to a trinket pro 5v and used these less expensive leds instead of neopixels.
