Re: RGB LED Help

I got a set of this light strip from adafruit. Tutorial was great.
http://learn.adafruit.com/digital-led-strip

Go to the menu on the left side of the page, read through the code, wiring, troubleshooting, etc.

Took me a bit of homework to get mine working, but it now works like a champ. I simply used their example code from their Arduino library (see the code page), and modified it to get the behavior I wanted.

FIRST is not rocket science. But it is like drinking from a fire hose.
