Run the example

NeoPixels

Here is a simple example program. It assumes you have a single NeoPixel attached to pin 6 and strobes lot's of random colors at you:

Note: You must update the example to reference the port your Arduino is attached to!

ruby example-neopixel.rb

NeoMatrix

Here is a simple example program. It assumes you have a single NeoMatrix attached to pin 6 and strobes lot's of random colors at you:

Note: You must update the example to reference the port your Arduino is attached to!
