Gearlights- Arduino code for digital RGBLEDs

[evanperryg]

My team got a few rolls of Andymark's old AM2640 digital RGB LED strips, and I've been working on developing code for them over the past few months. Although the code is currently set up for WS2801-driven strips, adapting the code to work with the Adalight library would be pretty easy and it would create compatibility for other chips. Enjoy!

If anyone is interested in adding support for other types of LED strips, I'd suggest taking a look at the fastLED library. They've got support for quite a few different strips, and a bunch of useful ancillary functions as well.

Personally, I'd suggest Adalight. It supports everything FastLed does, but it wouldn't require changing all the commands to work with FastLed. I did try developing this code using FastLed, but it proved to be not nearly as versatile as the Adafruit options.
