I adapted the adafruit techno-tiki torch IR remote code (found at: https://learn.adafruit.com/techno-tiki-rgb-led-torch/software) for use with the WS2801 leds. I currently have this code uploaded onto my Uno.
My goal was to find/make some code to start playing with the remote and my WS2801 lights.
It's currently a work in progress; the power off and on modes on the remote aren't working with this current code.
