LED Christmas Balls

This is an Arduino-controlled 3D-printed LED Christmas Ball.

The model requires an Arduino and a 7-LED strip to function properly.

The C++ code is contained in the LED_Christmas_Ball_Test.ino file. It can be used with either the Arduino IDE 2.2.1+ or the Visual Studio Code IDE, as shown in the video.

The assembly is straightforward and fully documented in this YouTube video. The code is very short and the video shows how to upload it to the Arduino microcontroller.
