Here is an example that lights the LEDs up Red, Green and then Blue for a second.

RGB LED APA102C component

A simple chained RGB LED controller IC allowing multiple LEDs to be controlled using a serial data stream. Allows RGB LEDs to be driven with full 24-bit colour depth. Allows single chains, 2D arrays and 3D cube formations to be simulated. Supports Bit Banged or SPI peripheral based data modes.

Examples

Here is an example that lights the LEDs up Red, Green and then Blue for a second. The program then goes into a loop where a colour is assigned to LED0 and then shifted through the other chained LEDs. the colour assigned to LED0 will slowly fade and be slightly randmised to allow some colour variation during operation.
