This is the instruction page for the NeoPixel Workshop ran by Andy Miller on 11/11/17

Software to install

You will need to install the following programs and drivers

Download and install the Arduino IDE V 1.8.5 (or newer).

Do not download/install the web IDE!

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

There are some step by step instructions here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage


Download and install the CH340 USB drivers for the Arduino clones:

https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html

Note: The CH340 chip is a USB to serial chip used frequently on Arduino clones. Official Arduinos use the FTDI chip. Those drivers are included in the Arduino software install.


Download the FastLED library from:

https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/releases Current version is 3.1.6

We will show you how to install this library. The FastLED library is used to control NeoPixels! The official page for the FASTLED library is:
