NeoPixel LED strip lights are programmable RGB LED strips that can be programmed to create any desired lighting pattern. NeoPixel can produce many colors in any combination and brightness. It consumes less power and can be addressed individually through programming. In this project we will learn to control WS2812 NeoPixel LED strips using ESP32 and Blynk applications.
Components Required:
- 25 LEDs WS2812B NeoPixel LED Strip
- 5V, 2 AMP Power supply
- ESP32 Development board
- Breadboard
- Jumper wires
The WS2812 LED strips are a detectable flexible strip that is very useful in adding beautiful lighting effects. These LED strips are powered by a 5050 RGB LED, with a WS2812 LED driver inbuilt. Each LED consumes 60mA current and can be powered from a 5V DC supply. It has a single input data pin that can be fed from the digital pin of microcontrollers.

Blynk is an application that can run over Android and IOS devices to control any IoT devices using our smartphones. We can create our own Graphical user interface to design the IoT application GUI. We previously used Blynk with ESP32 and built many other IoT based projects using Blynk.
Before setup, download the Blynk Application from Google Play store (IOS users can download from Apple Store) and Sign-up using your email id and Password.
