A speaker is not needed. The program I used to make the diagram didn't have a microphone so I had to use a distance sensor (which looks like a speaker) as a representative. The only things you need are the ones listed in the materials section. Good luck!

I had no idea arduino even existed before I did this project haha

I honestly can't say for 100% but it's a possibility. I would try working on it in a quiet area

AlisonM77 is me btw

I'm a novice too, so I could have wired it incorrectly but hey, it gets the job done lol

The video is indeed of the cloud I made with my two hands.

I'm 100% sure that is how it's wired. Before I started my project, I did a little crash course on programming neopixels with my creative technologies professor and when we had the Neopixels connected to the Arduino using the 5V, the first led would stay on as green. So my professor switched it from 5V to Vin and the constant little green light turned off and the strand still lit up according to the code. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I promise that this is how I did it.

Thank you!

Thanks! If you really like it, I entered it into the lighting contest and you should vote for it :)

Thank you, my dude. If you want you can vote for it in the lighting contest :)

Thanks! And it's not supper difficult to make! Only took me 4 hours and I barely knew what I was doing lol
