details
This Project is implemented by combining Arduino Ethernet board and Adafruit NeoPixel shield(RGB LED 5X8 Matrix) for controlling LED from a remote side.
Hardware and Software
This project uses the following hardware
- Arduino Ethernet I picked mine up at Microcenter. They describe Gheo Electronics Arduino Ethernet Shield without PoE Module Rev.3 as an Ethernet Shield. The Arduino IDE supports this board. I used version 1.0.5.
- Adafruit NeoPixel Shield a 5×8 matrix of individually controllable RGB LED. The software library is available on github.
- A simple protoshield with pass-through connectors. The Ethernet connector is very large and the Neopixel Shield sits right on top of it. I used a prototyping shield to lift the NeoPixel board off the connector. You can see the cutout around the Ethernet connector in the right of the picture. It also gives me an easy place to connect the Nokia 5110 LCD display.
- Nokia 5110 LCD display. Sparkfun makes one with a nice breakout board that is also available atMicrocenter. I soldered a connector for it to the protoshield. The LCD is not shown in the picture.
- FTDI USB adapter for programming the Arduino.
Using Library
- Adafruit NeoPixel Library on GitHub
- Bonjour compatible zeroconf library on GitHub
- Arduino webserver capability, aka Webduino, available on GitHub
- Example 5110 sample code embedded in this project since it was not available as a library when I first pulled it in.
