WS2812 Christmas tree

Now added a video with the first five light effects based on the FastLED lib.

Now I have added the 193th LED at the top of the tree. A WS2812 8mm LED from Adafruit, which I have ordered a long time ago for testing purpose. After some try and error I figured out, that this LED needs RGB byte order instead of GRB like the WS2812 at the LED rings. So I decided to use a different GPIO pin of the Teensy to drive this single LED.

I have just assembled the acrylic tree with the 7 LED rings. I am also planning to add one special LED at the top of the tree. Using a Teensy 3.5 board and a 74HCT745 level shifter, next step will be the programming of different lightning effects. Should be finished before Christmas...
