Searching around for ws2812b I found Sparkfun's tutorial on their own WS2812 and their Breakout board, with of course code. Again, start with their libraries and their examples, and get the feel for the method before trying your own.
Thank you Roger, that is useful info I didn't have. I hope LEDs will arrive soon for me to try them.
I am getting tired of TLC5947, as it continues to produce some artifacts that are not in the code. I tried 3 simple loops, 1st 100%, 2nd 50% and 3rd 0% brightness. It all works as expected but at the end of second loop all LEDs blink.
