Example Arduino code to run a neopixel for my Halloween brain
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
//Hacked from the original Adafruit library demo
#define PIN 6 //my control pin
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
strip.begin();
strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}
void loop() {
//Start out with a pink brain looking color
colorWipe(strip.Color(255, 48, 48), 1); // Hot Pink
//Throb read and then fade out
heartThrob(20);
}
// Fill the dots one after the other with a color

for(uint16_t i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, c);
strip.show();
delay(wait);

Is there anyway to update the Flora v1 code to work with Flora V2??
