I'm planning my first project, which is individually controlled LEDs that react to a motion sensor.
I'm trying to buy the things I need for the project and having some trouble figuring out what is it that I need... or if I'm missing anything (except for wire that is available at my HackerSpace). So far I've got:
1. This LED strip and cut it to individual LEDs
2. LiPo battery - will that be enough? The battery gives me 3.7V-4.2V, where is the LED strip needs 5V. It doesn't say anywhere whether the battery is more than one cell.
3. Charger for the LiPo battery- I'm not sure what connects to the Load ports...
4. I'm getting this Teensy 2.0 board
5. This Accelerometer
Any help will be much appreciated!

More detail in the project would be helpful. How many leds, what kind of control, what size area are you wanting to cover and how do you want them to interact?Any help will be much appreciated!

Re: Help with my first project
I want to do something like this:

Its about 20-25 LEDs overall. Control - motion sensor I guess, or you mean something else?
