Download the github

Download the ZIP file to your computer.

Now unzip the folder.

Move or copy the “FastLED” folder to the Arduino/libraries” folder.

You will also need to rename the folder to “FastLED”.

In the “examples” folder, there are examples you can run.

Open the file “blink.io”

Edit the code below so that the DATA_PIN is 7.

Now connect your Arduino to your computer and UPLOAD the code. Make sure you have the correct BOARD TYPE and COM port selected.

The first LED should be blinking.

Try some other examples. Just remember to the change the DATA_PIN to 7. It may be called the LED_PIN.

Try “DemoReel100.io” to see a demo of all the examples.
