http://cgi.ebay.com/RGB-LED-Strip-5M...item3cb80a5e93 <-- This is my proposed lighting source. Strips of RGB LEDs in a "cut every three" configuration on a tape that will dissipate what little heat they produce. Waterproof isn't the issue here, just happened to be on here. Is there a way to make this LED strip (possibly cut into threes) into an array that can be driven by an Arduino? Would I need to solder lines to some kind of breadboard or what?
It needs in the end to be able to be a programmable X by X RGB array (like a graphic LCD) so it would be compatible with Arduino aquarium lighting software-it's for a fish tank lighting hood. I think it's a little easier than trying to wire up Luxeons to buckpucks. If it's not (this is for a small tank) can someone point me in a better direction?
