We have a deep love for NeoPixels. One of our first projects as a maker in residence (well over a decade ago) was a USB dance mat that controlled a series of NeoPixels. It was called the Dance Mat of Doom and it annoyed a lot of parents at the Raspberry Pi Birthday Party. NeoPixels, WS2812B to be exact, are individually addressable RGB LEDs. Essentially, we can individually control thousands of RGB LEDs using very few system resources.
