# Adafruit WS2801 Library [![Build Status](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-WS2801-Library/workflows/Arduino%20Library%20CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-WS2801-Library/actions)[![Documentation](https://github.com/adafruit/ci-arduino/blob/master/assets/doxygen_badge.svg)](http://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit-WS2801-Library/html/index.html)

Example library for driving Adafruit WS2801 pixels!

  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit RGB Pixels!

  12mm Bullet shape ----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/322

  12mm Flat shape   ----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/738

  36mm Square shape ----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/683

  These pixels use SPI to transmit the color data, and have built in

  high speed PWM drivers for 24 bit color per pixel

  2 pins are required to interface

  Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code,
