Make a Big Red Button that takes your LED projects to the next level by making them interactive. This button is programmable and works over WiFi. Change modes, colors, turn your lights on and off, or come up with your own creative idea to let visitors control your LED projects.

We'll also show you how to make a tiny button that you can hide in your pocket, to make the lights change like "magic".

This project uses a massive arcade button, a Sparkle Motion controller and a ring of NeoPixels. Learn how to program the button to do whatever you like within WLED, a free, open-source LED control program that has built-in sync abilities, allowing you to control multiple projects at once.
