WS2812 B/Neopixel RGB LED Tutorial

Today I show you how to make you own breakout board for 5050 SMD LEDs like the WS2812B and afterwards you will learn how to controll the WS2812 Family LEDS (Adafruit Neopixels are basically just that) with your Microcontroller (not limited to Arduino!).

The Datasheet for the WS2812B:
https://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2812B.pdf

FastLED Software Library:
https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED
(just click "Download .zip" on the right, unpack in your (Arduino) Library Folder and maybe rename it (It may not have hyphens in the folder name!))
The code (slightly altered):
--- sadly lost to time and an out of service code host ---

If your colors come out wrong check the definition of your declaration of the LED Array. Sometimes you have to provide a different order (like RGB or GRB)
Have fun!
