wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 34 *
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 35 * the WS2801 IC's are 5V but works well connected directly to mbed IO pins.
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 36 *
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 37 * You need a 5V power supply capable of about 2A to light up a 32 led strip, do NOT power from mbed(usb).
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 38 *
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 39 * the required reset delay is a blocking wait(), it can be lowered (or set to 0) if you want to use the
wertyfrog 3:2b362d164405 40 * time for executing code instead, data sheet says 500us but i found it need at least 800us.
