So I recently learned that the arduino has two pins that can be used to activate ISR's (interrupt service routine's), these pins are pin 2, and pin 3. So i connected buttons to these pins so that I can use them to switch back and forth between different Led shows that I make.

So I have my power supply now and that's pretty cool. It takes AC power at either 110V or 220V and changes it to 5V which you can draw 30 Amps of.
So I have figured out that my LED strips work at 5V, so I know I need a 5V power supply. However in terms of amperage I have figured out that each LED can draw a max of 60 miliamps so that means in a 60 LED strips, like i have, it can draw a max of 3.6 amps. So for one LED strip i only like a 4 amp power supply however if i'm going to use enough strips to go around my room, that'll be a fair number so i might as well go with a 30 amp power supply just to be careful.
So there are several things that I need to make this project a success.
Things Needed
I want to make some decorations for my room using LED strips. I'm gonna use my arduino to control my LED strips and have them do all sorts of cool light things such as chases and rainbows and all that cool stuff.
