Weird BRG instead of RGB #61

Hi, if I try the fill function like fill 1,FF0000 I'm getting blue instead of red. Also if I'm trying to fill with this BRG hex color #FF6400, I'm getting a pink color instead of cyan, also seems like that this BRG is flipped/reversed? <- If I try with the BRG hex #FF34FF I'm getting the cyan.

I did everything the author had in the README.md for the basic test setup. I removed the folder and ran make again but still didnt got me where I wanna be. Im using a RaspberryPi ZeroW.

Hi Tim,

If you check under the setup section of the readme, you can several initializations for different LED types. If you are unsure which one you have (RGB, GRB, GBR, etc.) it's a trial and error test to find the correct one. Try a different initialization and then try to fill the different colors.

Even when it sells as RGB, that doesn't mean it is RGB, especially on a big Chinese website.

Hi, thanks for your reply! You were right. Shouldve thought of this myself... and I thought my strip is RGB but apperantly it wasnt.
