Light it up // WS2801 RGB strip
RGB strips usually require 12V. The WS2801 RGB strip does not, it can be run with only 5V. It works differently than the basic RGB strips, as this one is ‘programmable’, meaning that you can pinpoint what pixel you want to light up.
I’be been playing around with a library from Adafruit, but found it easier to work with the one from FastLED. They have great documentation on GitHub, were I found help in order to do this:

We had a cable with 25 RGB pixels (WS2801 driven) that we folded into a 5x5 matrix. The leds are powered by an external power supply (5V/3A) and controlled with an Arduino using the WS2801 SPI library by Blip. (There are several libraries supporting WS2801 available, we just went for the first google hit.)
