Hook up your RGB LED Strip to your Spark Core. (Depending on how many LEDs your strip has, you might need to provide an external power supply. I suggest looking up the specs to your specific LED Strip for more information as it varies.)

• If you are using the one I chose, you can connect your pins following the instructions here

I was able to drive mine from the Spark Core directly without the use of an external power supply, so if you hook:

• +5V on the strip to 3.3V output from the Spark Core
• GRD on the strip to GRD on the Spark Core
• DI on the strip to D2 on the Spark Core
• CI on the strip to D3 on the Spark Core

1. Flash your Spark Core with the firmware! You have two options here:
   1. Open up spark.io/build and copy and paste the code from the spark-rgb.ino into a new app, then compile and flash it onto your Spark device (as long as it has a WiFi connection).
   2. Download the firmware.bin and install it yourself through a USB connection to your Spark device.

1. The elegance of the Node.js solution is how easy it is for anyone to use it! If you go tohttp://sparkrgb.azurewebsites.net you can login with your Spark Credentials and interact with your own Spark Core!
   • The code for this site is in this repository too, it uses SparkJS to allow you to login to your own Spark account and interact with your own spark devices.
