At first glance, an Arduino library for LED control might seem superfluous, but if you are interested in nice effects, the coding for them can be a bit onerous.

The BASIC interpreter eats up around 600 bytes in the Arduino RAM, leaving about 1.4 kB for BASIC code. Not much, but more than the lowest-end BASIC Stamp.

– RAM: 3bytes WS2812B & Arduino Earlier we controlled LED matrixes, strips and other complex LED projects bundled with countless interconnected wires with the help of multiplexers and shift registers.

The serial port baud rate is set to 9600, and the Arduino Uno uses COM34. Visual Basic 2008 comes with the SerialPort function, so it’s pretty easy to program. All that we need the Arduino to do is ...
