Soldering to a Stripboard

In my first proto-board trial, I decided to recreate the ‘Color Mixing Lamp’ Arduino Beginner Project using a different RGB LED (along with some other modifications).

First I tested the circuit design on breadboard - showing the circuit, code and WS2812B RGB LED work together.

Using Fritzing, an electronics prototyping application, helped design the setup by quickly visualising component layouts.

After soldering each component and disconnecting rails (photo above).

Everything working including USB power from a Raspberry Pi! The reading from the photoresistor changes the hue of the LED - see video below:
