Most Interesting Addressable LEDs that I've Ever Seen

Waiting on some new boards from https://www.PCBWay.com/?from=atomic so thought I'd have a look at these interesting addressable LED curtains.

They are pretty cool - what's really interesting is that they operate with the data line in a bus mode - all the LEDs get the serial data and each one has an address burned into it at manufacture time so they know which part of the data stream is for them.

Very clever stuff.

But we're not here to praise this product - we're here to take it apart and see if we can hack around with it. In this case the answer is a definite yes!

These are the curtains that I purchased: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFQ98jB
"New Generation DIY LED Curtain Lights Steady Lit APP Remote Control Pattern Cartoon Text For Window Festival Wedding Decoration" - Is how they describe it...

And the interesting GitHub thread is here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/issues/1312
