Code

Switch on the LED Strip - Dotstar

Arduino
It turns on the LED strip to give it an infinite look.
#include <Adafruit_DotStar.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#define NUMPIXELS 30

// Create the strip

Adafruit_DotStar strip = Adafruit_DotStar(NUMPIXELS, DOTSTAR_BRG) ;

void simpleOn(uint32_t color, uint8_t head, uint8_t tail) {
  for (int i=(tail-1); i < head; i++){
    strip.setPixelColor(i, color) ;
  }
  strip.show() ;
}

void setup() {
  strip.begin() ;
  strip.show() ; // This turns off the LEDs within NUMPIXELS

}

void loop() {
  uint8_t head, tail ;
  uint32_t color ;
  color = 0x1577D5 ;
  head = 7 ;
  tail = 2 ;
  simpleOn(color, head, tail) ;
  delay(1000) ;

}
