    Works as stated.
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014*

Just started playing around and this thing works as promised.  Don't know how to create a stand alone project as I'm only familiar with the Arduino platform but I'm confident that some genius will figure it out for the rest of us.

    FADE CANDY TIME TO UPDATE YOUR PROCESSING PROGRAM SO IT HAS ALL IT NEEDS TO RUN
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020*

Looks like a great project and device.... until you attempt to use thier processing program to program the device which never works because it can never find all of the libraries it needs and then it just missing this missing that. This is garbage. here let me help you.1. If you are going to office example programs make sure you include everything needed to run it. No one likes doing all this work only to find out the program you wanted to use to see how well it worked just throws error after error becuase fadecandy can not be bothered to update thier examples and libraries and program. I bought 2 of these one I can no longer return. The 2nd not going to bother with a company that can't keep current with their website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works well
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2019*

Was brought to replace an older unit that used batteries.This being rechargeable makes the unit much smaller than the old one, it is also a much nicer looking modern unit .Works well and is simple to set up and use
