Arduino LED rope programming
This class will be focased on using a string of LED's on a flexible PCB. The LED "Rope" features 60 individual LED components, each of which is individually addressable and programmable brightness level for Red, Green and Blue color. This style LED strip uses +5 Volts, GND, Clock and Data pins. This allows a simple SPI like serial interface, which is time independent, using the APA102-C interface chip. The Adafruit equivelent product is called DotStar, and we use the same libraries as this for our interface.
