Hello,
I am building a interactive model that will need to have a flexible 6" wide strip of LED's about 4' long that will run a very slow chase pattern. This will be a first time build for me and I am looking for a recommendation on the parts to use.
Regards,
Controller for Project

Re: Controller for Project
It would probably be easiest to do that with addressable LEDs like NeoPixels or DotStars:

https://www.adafruit.com/category/885
The wiring for those is a lot easier than for large numbers of discrete LEDs.

Re: Controller for Project
Does Adafruit offer pre programmed controllers for NeoPixels or DotStars?

Re: Controller for Project
The closest thing to a pre-programmed controller would be the FadeCandy controller for Neopixels. It has firmware to simplify the implementation of more advanced effects. But some programming is still required.
