From the Forums: Happy Birthday Light Painting with NeoPixel Painter Tutorial #arduino
iBucky shared an excellent birthday light painting created using the Adafruit NeoPixel Painter tutorial on the Adafruit Forums!
I recently built the NeoPixel Painter and want to say that tutorial was great. I had no issues putting mine together. I made one modification, I used a 1 x 3/4″ x 42″ piece of wood which I routed out a groove for the NeoPixel strip to fit in flush to remove side light from the LEDs.
We had a blast with it over the weekend at my daughter’s birthday party, see sample below. In addition to the birthday wish banner we used it for a magical animal that appeared in the air to answer questions for a scavenger hunt. We anticipate more animals and objects to appear in the air in time!
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Having fun painting the night sky!

NeoPixel Painter: Next-generation light painting with NeoPixels and Arduino: Light painting is an artistic medium combining light, motion and long-exposure photography. For as long as a camera’s shutter is open, a single point of light in motion will create a continuous streak in the final photograph. Digital technology takes light painting to the next level…dozens of point lights, with color and brightness individually under computer control, weave a swath of awesome across the completed frame. Adafruit’s NeoPixel strips, combined with the Arduino microcontroller and a supporting cast of parts, make highly refined digital light painting achievable! (read more)
