What’s cooler than a guitar that lights up when you play it? Nothing.
Hardware This whole idea was inspired by Adafruit’s Neopixel LED strips. These are chains of RGB LEDs on a flexible PCB, with each light individually addressable.
The lights are controlled by an Adafruit Trinket M0, which is an absolutely amazing tiny microcontroller board.
The guitar is an old Squier Stratocaster. It’s my first guitar, which I bought way back when I was in high school.
