I am already familiar with the schema of these lights, but you have done a great job of introducing newby's to the craft. I have watched many of your youtube vids, which I enjoy very much.

seen all these videos on you tube already/ second review good videos on sequencing would have liked to see videos about pixel matrix and how to configure/sequence them. also would have been better to have more written information about the whole content. over all not bad i give it a B.

A way too little practice !

Haven't learned much so far. This course should be marked as a course for people who know absolutely nothing about electronics. So far anyway.
