Know Your LEDs
This is a tutorial for Addressable LED Strips that operate off of the Adafruit NeoPixel Library. Check your LEDs' data sheet and product info for what library your LEDs operate on. If your LEDs operate on one single digital pin, it is likely that they will operate on the NeoPixel Library. If they require a clock line, they do not operate on the NeoPixel library.
The Basics of Your LEDs
Your LEDs are addressable. This means that you can tell each pixel what color to be. And, further, you can hand each pixel an RGB value, meaning you can set any pixel to any color. This gives you a lot of freedom, but it can be quite daunting. Have no fear! Your LEDs are very easy to control.
