Controlling WS2812B (NeoPixel) LEDs with a Raspberry Pi 3 using Python

Controlling WS2812B (NeoPixel) LEDs with a Raspberry Pi 3 using Python

...

I followed this example to hook my Raspberry Pi 3 to a strip of WS2812B (60 LED per meter):

I started with the example code provided from the "WS281X Library":

and added the various functions from this Arduino tutorial:

as well as some of my own things.

My Raspberry Pi setup is just the 'Raspbian Stretch With Desktop':

I ran "sudo apt-get install xrdp" so I could remote into it to from my computer edit the python files and run it from a terminal.

I also enabled SSH.

Note: This was my first Raspberry Pi + GPIO project, my first time with Python, and my fist contribution to GitHub.
