These LEDs are capable of so much more. I believe that LED lighting can be nuanced, with

wide ranges of brightness from blindingly intense to barely visible, saturated hues to subtle

off-white. Getting this range of expression from LEDs can be super tricky, especially when

the only tool you have at your disposal is the Arduino IDE.

Fadecandy (http://adafru.it/cW0) is a project that tries to solve this problem, by making LED

art both easier to build and more expressive. At the core of the project is the Fadecandy

Controller, a tiny board that lets you control up to 512 NeoPixels (as 8 strands of 64) from

any computer or embedded Linux board with USB. It includes unique color dithering and

interpolation algorithms to get the most out of each pixel.
