SparkCore-WS2801

An example library for driving Adafruit WS2801 pixels for the Spark Core. Implementation based on Adafruit's WS2801 Library.

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
