Most amazing effects on the LEDs. I am a 56 years (young) beginner in the world of Arduino and individually programmable LEDs. Your videos are like learning A, B, C, D.... covering the most basics and fundamentals... Thank you so much. Great help for people like me..

Scott THANK YOU for these. I've been watching them all today without physically practicing, but I'll be going through them all again hands-on. You're doing an incredible job of introducing new basics and then adding relatively simple but extremely practical complications on top. Exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing! Very simple explananation without much fuzz. Saying this as a programmer (not with C++ or FastLED but this is the first video about FastLED I watched and I think I got it pretty well now...)

Thanks Scott. This video "FastLED Basics Episode 3 - Palettes" is fantastic. Palettes are obviously the key to making LEDs dance and your instructions make the abstract concept very understandable.

The entire "FastLED Basics" series is must watch TV for anyone that wants to understand how to program LEDs. Thanks again.

Very nicely explained, never knew we could make our own palettes. Though you needed to be an expert at this.
