Our LEDs are going to be using the WS2812 control chips to individually address each LED. This will make programming cool effects lots of fun.

We'll want to prove out that these functions are working.

Notes from exploration...

Power MUST be supplied from the "center" 5V/GND connectors. @lukeg discovered this the "hard way" when his LEDs would not turn on at all.

"FastLED" seems to be a very simple, and solid, option for controlling the LEDs, themselves. Seems simple and effective.
