Control an array or chain of NeoPixel-compatible RGB LEDs. "NeoPixel" is Adafruit's name for WS2812- and WS2811-based addressable RGB LEDs. This library should work with any WS2811- or WS2812-based devices. … NeoPixel, NeoPixels, WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B

see comments in source code. There is a complete program.......if you still find difficulties I can pass you some of my experimental code.

It is really simple, using the library provided. Just make sure they are properly wired. I have a bad ground and got some funky stuff at the beginning.

Accepted Answer

Thanks!

The comment in the source also appears in the API documentation. In case it's more convenient, there's also an mbed application for it here: https://developer.mbed.org/users/JacobBramley/code/NeoPixel-Demo/

I don't seem to have made an example for the buffered-mode interface, but that's fairly simple in comparison. I will produce an example if you think it would be useful.

Many thanks! I've bad habbit of not reading comments carefully enough... Will try and hope to make it working before Christmas - just for best-ever Christmas lights :)
