Adjust reset timing for new WS2812 chip #58

The old chips required a 50 microsecond reset; the new ones require 300.

Note that I haven't actually tested this on a BBB; I expect that there are more changes required to get this to work...

Mostly, wanted to get feedback on what other changes would be needed.

Thanks!

Thanks for this.... I've actually been looking forward to it for a while. I'd like to see it tested before I merge this in, however.

Hi,

So we just made this change and it looks good now, we had a weird flicker before, now its smooth animation.

Thanks,
