It would be better to add all possible chipsets here so the user does not have to guess the names and see what is available. Also I'd rather use a fill all function so the user quickly can test all leds. I always have to look this up or write a loop for a quick'n dirty test of all leds.\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/FastLED3.1/examples/Blink/Blink.ino\r\n\r\nBut I also like the order as in the fire2012 example which is way better to view.\r\nThat is how I currently do it:\r\n```cpp\r\n// FastLED\r\n#include \"FastLED.h\"\r\n\r\n#define LED_PINS    MOSI, SCK // DATA_PIN, or DATA_PIN, CLOCK_PIN\r\n#define COLOR_ORDER GRB\r\n#define CHIPSET     WS2801 // WS2811 LPD8806\r\n#define NUM_LEDS    32\r\n\r\n#define BRIGHTNESS  255  // reduce power consumption\r\n#define DITHER      255  // try 0 to disable flickering\r\n#define CORRECTION  TypicalLEDStrip\r\n\r\nCRGB leds[NUM_LEDS]; // Define the array of leds\r\n\r\nvoid setup() {\r\n  // FastLED setup\r\n  FastLED.addLeds<CHIPSET, LED_PINS, COLOR_ORDER>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(CORRECTION);\r\n  FastLED.setBrightness( BRIGHTNESS );\r\n  FastLED.setDither(DITHER);\r\n  FastLED.show(); // needed to reset leds to zero\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\nI'd make it a bit more consistent in all exampled except the blink of course."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FastLED/FastLED/issues/comments/109789516","html_url":"https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/issues/180#issuecomment-109789516","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FastLED/FastLED/issues/180","id":109789516,"user":{"login":"NicoHood","id":6888294,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6888294?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood","html_url":"https://github.com/NicoHood","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NicoHood/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-07T19:13:49Z","updated_at":"2015-06-07T19:13:49Z","body":"Sure.\r\nAt least add the missing chipsets (dont know if its more than just apa)"}}
