Hi,
I found this project and I want to modify a little bit.

So, I have WS2811 LED strip and NodeMCU (Lolin). I want to connect these two and to put in fluffy cloud (like this - https://bit.ly/2tDHqDw).

Basically I want to make that cloud change effect based on current weather (just like in original project). Problem is that project uses 4 strips and separated ESP + Arduino (I have one module - NodeMCU - and one strip).

Can someone help me? I know a little bit about wiring and soldering, but nothing special, and I have some experience with Arduino/RPi/NodeMCU. I want to make this simple as possible (and cheap). Thanks! :slight_smile:

Head over to the FastLED Google group, there’s lots of ideas and support.
