FastLED ambibox

// Slightly modified Adalight protocol implementation that uses FastLED
// library (http://fastled.io) for driving WS2811/WS2812 led stripe
// Was tested only with Prismatik software from Lightpack project (version 5.9.1, 5.9.6 and 5.11.1 so far - 5.11.1 has some issues on startup in windows so I'm not using it)

#include "FastLED.h"

#define NUM_LEDS 100 // Max LED count
//#define LED_PIN 11 // arduino output pin - probably not required for WS2801
//#define GROUND_PIN 10 // probably not required for WS2801
#define BRIGHTNESS 96 // maximum brightness
#define SPEED 115200 // virtual serial port speed, must be the same in boblight_config

// A 'magic word' (along with LED count & checksum) precedes each block
// of LED data; this assists the microcontroller in syncing up with the
// host-side software and properly issuing the latch (host I/O is
// likely buffered, making usleep() unreliable for latch).  You may see
// an initial glitchy frame or two until the two come into alignment.
// The magic word can be whatever sequence you like, but each character
// should be unique, and frequent pixel values like 0 and 255 are
// avoided -- fewer false positives.  The host software will need to
// generate a compatible header: immediately following the magic word
// are three bytes: a 16-bit count of the number of LEDs (high byte
// first) followed by a simple checksum value (high byte XOR low byte
// XOR 0x55).  LED data follows, 3 bytes per LED, in order R, G, B,
// where 0 = off and 255 = max brightness.

  // and the "in" and "out" indices are unsigned 8-bit types -- this
  // much simplifies the cases where in/out need to "wrap around" the

  // masking and/or conditional code every time one of these indices
  // needs to change, slowing things down tremendously.
