Step 1: Gather the materials

Materials:
 - addressable RGB LED strip : I used a new variety of three conductor WS2811 strips.
 - an Arduino : I used a Arduino Leonardo. Any 5vdc Arduino should be adequate.  
 - 4 AA batteries and a battery holder are a nice touch to make it more portable. 
 - prototyping board or prototyping Arduino Shield
 - potentiometer for brightness control
 - maybe some connectors for the power and motor could come in handie
 - headers to secure hardware to Arduino
 - misc wire for LED strip and potentiometer
 - 3M Double Sided Foam Tape for sticking Arduino and LEDs in place
 - Flipbookit MOTO-FLIP from flipbookit.net : flipbookit.bigcartel.com/product/flipbookit-moto <-- this thing is super easy to build

0. build Flipbookit Moto. Seriously this thing is ridiculously easy to assembly. Enjoy.

1. Solder up proto to align with Adruino as follows:
 - LED Strip to 5vdc, GND, and pin9
 - potentiometer to 5vdc, A1, GND
 - motor connector to 3.3vdc, GND

2. Load the Arduino library and example code from here: https://github.com/CRASHSpace/LEDs/tree/master/HSB_to_RGB/examples/led_rainbow_brightness

3. Hook up prototype board to the Arduino. Test the LEDs and brightness and motor
