#define STARTCOLOR 0x333333  // LED colors at start

#define DATAPIN    13        // Datapin
#define LEDCOUNT   300       //  Number of LEDs used for boblight
// LEDCOUNT value is local value in Arduino sketch, for hyperion it doesn't matter it sends prefx characters according to hyperion config
#define SHOWDELAY  200       // Delay in micro seconds before showing default 200
//#define BAUDRATE   500000// Serial port speed, 460800 tested with Arduino Uno R3 23400 za MEGA, 115200 nano

//Hyperion sends prefix characters based on number of LEDs in config file
// e.g. for 181 LEDs it will send 0xB4 and cheksum 0xE1
// keep in mind if you are using boblight config to calculate prefix that Boblight counts diodes from 1 and Hyperion from 0
// if you have problems try +1 or -1 diodes when generating prefix characters
// values to save some time: 178 B1 E4, 180 B3E6, 181 B4E1, 182 B5E0
//hyperion code
//_ledBuffer[3] = ((ledValues.size() - 1) >> 8) & 0xFF; // LED count high byte
//    _ledBuffer[4] = (ledValues.size() - 1) & 0xFF;        // LED count low byte

//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
