+// Simple test for 160 (5 meters) of LPD8806-based RGB LED strip
+
+/*****************************************************************************/
+
+// Number of RGB LEDs in strand:
+int nLEDs = 160;
+
+// Chose 2 pins for output; can be any valid output pins:
+int dataPin  = 2;
+int clockPin = 3;
+
+// First parameter is the number of LEDs in the strand.  The LED strips
+// are 32 LEDs per meter but you can extend or cut the strip.  Next two
+// parameters are SPI data and clock pins:
+LPD8806 strip = LPD8806(nLEDs, dataPin, clockPin);
+
+// You can optionally use hardware SPI for faster writes, just leave out
+// the data and clock pin parameters.  But this does limit use to very
+// specific pins on the Arduino.  For "classic" Arduinos (Uno, Duemilanove,
+// etc.), data = pin 11, clock = pin 13.  For Arduino Mega, data = pin 51,
+// clock = pin 52.  For 32u4 Breakout Board+ and Teensy, data = pin B2,
+// clock = pin B1.  For Leonardo, this can ONLY be done on the ICSP pins.
+//LPD8806 strip = LPD8806(nLEDs);
