Vincent,

I am new to Arduino and in the process of adding the LED strips to my stairs. I was curious if your sketch would work for the above mentioned LED's that has the 4th color. Or what should I change so that the sketch does work? Thanks

Hello Haarhohe, This sketch uses the Adafruit Neopixel library for controlling single-wire-based LED pixels and strip. I checked the datasheet of the SK6812 and the detail of the mentioned library (available on github).
I used the a WS2812 ledstrip and I did read that this has the same brightness, color and protocol as the SK6812-based LEDs. So this should work (but I have never tested it). Best thing would be to connect just a few leds (lets say 12) and configure the script as three ledstrips (LEDSTRIPS 3) , with 4 leds each (LEDSPERSTRIP 4) and test it. I would love to know if you succeed. Good luck !
