Hi. This is my first project uploaded on Instrucables.

I had couple of WS2811 LED strips sitting in drawer for last year.

Finally I've decided to make a use of them and build LED curtain to go on my bedroom window.

Result in my opinion is great.

Step 1: What You Need

I had 33 strips of 58 leds ws2811 already cut from some previous project. I was lucky because 58 leds length is hight of my bedroom window. To cover full width of the window I had to keep 35mm gaps between strips.

To power all the lights I used 200W 5V 40A power supply adapter. To drive programm you will need Led Controller t1000s.

Step 2: Making Frame

To make a frame I used two sticks. On on bottom and one on top. On the bottom stick I run two 2.5mm wires to supply 5v.

Step 3: Adding Strips

To attach strips I used hot glue gun.

Step 4: Wiring

Each strip is connected to power supply wires. Depending on length of the strips you may need to connect power on both ends of each strip.

Data cable from T1000s controller is connected to first led on first strip. Make sure you have correct direction of strips.

Step 5: Programming

To program t1000s you will need free software called Lededit. Usually it's saved on sd card that comes with controller. Sofftware itself is very easy to understand.

If you need manual you can find one here : http://www.greeled.net/uploadfile/03/60/6003/21141...

In my case I used tool to capture live video from youtube but you can upload your own video or type in your text.

Good luck and thank you.
