Hi everyone. I’m new to XOD and I’m trying to figure out how to control a 12 LED Neopixel ring with an IR remote. I’m looking to change color of the neopixels (ex. red to green) by pressing different buttons on an IR remote. I’m currently working with the IR remote library by @gweimer and the neopixel library by @bradzilla84. I figured out the IR codes for the buttons I’m using, but I don’t know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely check out the Adafruit materials on Neopixels. I highly recommend the adafruit uberguide for neopixels at : [https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide).

I have used these libraries extensively in two of my projects; see my version of the Guggenhat project (Neopixel Matrix) at [https://hackaday.io/project/4906-houston-guggenhat](https://hackaday.io/project/4906-houston-guggenhat)
