Hi,
I recently installed my new TV stand. I noticed they included led clips to put on the side of a glass plate.
Unfortunately the led lights are blue (which doesn't comply with the color of walls). The issue is that these leds make use of a wall adapter.
So I thought, why not make it myself
The idea of the project is to have an RGB led strip of about 6 to 8 cm (the width of the clip) and connect this to a battery holder with a switch (on/off) and 3 potentiometers (or trimpots). As most of my projects made only use of an arduino and a simple RGB led, I'm not sure how to create this without arduino. I suppose an RGB led is addressable with simply 3 potentiometers/trimpots?
As my knowledge is quite limited with the use of led strips, any help would be appreciated.
So my first question would be, is there a prebuilt battery holder with 3 potentiometers/trimpots? Or should I create this myself?
