# WS2801 Module ## ws2801.init() Initializes the module and sets the pin configuration. #### Syntax `ws2801.init(pin_clk, pin_data)` #### Parameters - `pin_clk` pin for the clock. Supported are GPIO 0, 2, 4, 5. - `pin_data` pin for the data. Supported are GPIO 0, 2, 4, 5. #### Returns `nil` ## ws2801.write() Sends a string of RGB Data in 24 bits to WS2801. Don't forget to call `ws2801.init()` before. #### Syntax `ws2801.write(string)` ####Parameters - `string` payload to be sent to one or more WS2801. It should be composed from an RGB triplet per element. - `R1` the first pixel's red channel value (0-255) - `G1` the first pixel's green channel value (0-255) - `B1` the first pixel's blue channel value (0-255)
... You can connect a lot of WS2801... - `R2`, `G2`, `B2` are the next WS2801's Red, Green, and Blue channel values #### Returns `nil` #### Example ```lua ws2801.write(string.char(255,0,0, 0,255,0, 0,0,255)) ```
