MMM-PiLights - Control a LPD8806 Led Strip on a Raspberry Pi
- 
 Hi, 
 Has anyone tried using one of the voice control modules to change color or control the light strip? I am new to this and would be interested in some ideas on how to point the correct modules.

 Hello :), I buyed a WS2801 LED-Chain and now I try to get the module running. I Installed the library via. “npm install rpi-ws2801” but I dont know what I Need to Change to get it work. 
 var leds = require(“rpi-ws2801”);
 Putting this in my js.File I only get an error message in my developer console?
 Can somebody help me please?

 yes, and you need to check the dependencies in your package.json file. 
 The WS2801 library uses lightly other function-names, you probably need to check that outhttps://www.npmjs.com/package/rpi-ws2801 vs. 
 https://www.npmjs.com/package/lpd8806-asyncI work on an own repository for this one but unfortunaly do not have much time at the moment, you can check that out as well. I thought of an option which sais that you are using ws2801 or lpd8806 and the module handles it … but a lot stuff to do.

 Does anyone know if APA102 (or DOTSTAR) can be used without modification of the code?

 I ordered these:
