      I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:

      I used this python code:

          Just to add some depth to this… If you really want to go “crazy” with animations, I’m recommending Bibliopixel and PixelWeb. Then you can “animate” lot’s and trigger them with a curl “command”. Plus you get a nice Web-interface to test the animations in. :)

                Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

                Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

                  Any stats etc on comparison between LPD, APA102, WS2812 and SK series. I find that WS2812B isn’t always able to render all colors properly.

                    Anyone know a way to control hue light strips to turn on/off via the pir sensor?
