Pi Christmas Star

Pi Christmas Star

 Yup, another pi pico w project.  I bought three picos so I'm messing around with them a lot.  

 I thought up this project after my sister got a new star for her Christmas tree.  It had LEDs in it and glowed brightly.  So I immediately wanted to one-up her and the best way to do that was modify a star topper with some WS2812B addressable LEDs.  I can use a Pi Pico W to control them and do cool stuff.

 All it just consists of 12 of the LEDs wired to a USB A cable.  The 5v pad of the last LED goes into the picos vbus (can also use vsys) pin to power it.  The USB A goes into a generic 5v 1a power adapter (you should have like 100 of these).  I'm using an old apple adapter.  

 The code is pretty simple.  I wrote a somewhat abstract Pi Pico LED class because I imagine I will want to use these basic functions in other projects.  The code is so simple its kinda boring so I won't show any.  Also the main function is really disgustingly bad so I don't want to show that either.  Inside the main function is where the html and webpage stuff is.  

This is what the UI to control the star looks like.  I didn't add that many functions because I couldn't really think of any.  

And the final result:
