# Delay here is the reset time. You need a pause to reset the LED strip back to the initial LED
# however, if you have quite a bit of processing to do before the next time you update the strip
# you could put in delay=0 (or a lower delay)
#
# Class supports different order of individual colors (GRB, RGB, WRGB, GWRB ...). In order to achieve
# this, we need to flip the indexes: in 'RGBW', 'R' is on index 0, but we need to shift it left by 3 * 8bits,
# so in it's inverse, 'WBGR', it has exactly right index. Since micropython doesn't have [::-1] and recursive rev()
# isn't too efficient we simply do that by XORing (operator ^) each index with 3 (0b11) to make this flip.
# When dealing with just 'RGB' (3 letter string), this means same but reduced by 1 after XOR!.
# Example: in 'GRBW' we want final form of 0bGGRRBBWW, meaning G with index 0 needs to be shifted 3 * 8bit ->
# 'G' on index 0: 0b00 ^ 0b11 -> 0b11 (3), just as we wanted.
# Same hold for every other index (and - 1 at the end for 3 letter strings).
