/*******************************************************************
This program is a test program for NeoPixel LED strips, specifically designed
for RGBW (RGB + white) pixels. It utilizes the Adafruit_NeoPixel library to
control the NeoPixels connected to an Arduino.
The program defines the pin to which the NeoPixels are connected, the number
of pixels in the strip, and the brightness level. It then initializes the
NeoPixel strip object, sets the brightness, and turns off all pixels.
The main loop of the program demonstrates various effects using the NeoPixels.
It starts by filling the strip with different colors using the colorWipe()
function, which sets each pixel to a specified color and delays for a certain time. The colors used are red, green, blue, and true white.
Next, the program calls the whiteOverRainbow() function, which creates a moving
white segment over a rainbow-colored background. The size and speed of the white
segment can be adjusted.
After that, the pulseWhite() function is called, which creates a pulsating effect
by gradually increasing and decreasing the brightness of the white color.
Lastly, the program calls the rainbowFade2White() function, which produces a
fading rainbow effect that transitions into a white color. The parameters for
this function determine the speed of the fade, the number of rainbow loops,
and the number of white loops.
Overall, this program serves as a demonstration of various effects that can be
achieved with RGBW NeoPixel LED strips using the Adafruit_NeoPixel library.
