A bit of code to demonstrate the light strip from insomnialighting.com here - http://www.insomnialighting.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_4&products_id=8 using an arduino nano. Data and clock lines on the strip are connected to pins 11 and 13 of the nano respectively to make use of hardware SPI.

| // Simple test for 260 (5 meters) of LPD8806-based RGB LED strip, this is a | |
| // modified version of the original demo - it creates a rainbow, animates it | |
| // and fades from black->colours->white->colours->black in a cycle, holding | |
| // somewhat longer on the full colour, all while cycling the rainbow colours. | |
| // This has been tested with a high density (260 LEDs / 5m) strip and a nano | |
| // board, running from a 5V 10A PSU. |
