Here’s one of my typical portable LED strips. Additional functionality may include a microphone, IR receiver, button, potentiometer. I use 4 pin JST connectors between the Arduino Nano and the strips so that I can mix 'n match between 3 pin WS2812’s, 4 pin APA102’s and 30/60/144 LED/M strips. I’ve also got bigger power banks for additional capacity. There’s tie wraps around the Nano, which is then completely heat shrinked for protection.
Just thought I’d pass this along for beginners.

Would you mind elaborating on the sound reactive programming your are using? This thing looks great, simple and efficient.
You should be able to see some of my sound reactive videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/atuline/videos.
Anyways, I’ve published a lot at https://github.com/atuline/FastLED-Demos.
soundmems.ino just takes the microphone input and strobes the amplitude along the LED’s. Simple.
fht_log.ino uses the Open Music Labs FHT library and create a frequency domain output.
Except for the fht stuff, both routines are very simple visually wise.
Oh, and here’s a version that’s a little tighter that I’ve put inside of Chinese lanterns at http://imgur.com/TETzqaZ.
Awesome, Thanks for the reply!
