LED RGB Lighting

[gerthworm]

This year, we used Adafruit APA102 DotStar LED strips controlled off the SPI on the RIO. Incidentally, I'd prefer to use an external device (probably arduino) to not soak up processor time on something which probably isn't as important as actually controlling the robot. However, if you're interested, here's our driver for those from 2016:

Not sure if it helps, but you can use a typical SPI to control the data line for neoPixels.

We did it for the HERO robot controller...

...basically just make each pixel bit a SPI byte. So if all you have is a SPI, you could get it to work.
