RGB LED 5050 strips and matrix:

 

Arduino UNO  V3 and pixelblaze boards (D on the first picture):

Power supply I used:

2. 

This project is from a  control board (for D on the first picure with letters),  D is RGB LED 5050, WS2812B ring panel (1 ring, 15 RGB LEDs).

Its control board is pixelblaze v2 is from electromage.com

You use your own WIFI to run a program from the pixelblaze.com.

The control board:

Power supply 5 V, 1 A.
