      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. :)

      If you cant find it, make it and share it!

            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.

                      So i managed to do this. Its probably quite a dirty fix. And only setup to work with phillips hue bulbs/strips. But if u want to know shoot me a pm and ill show it.
