A simple arduino program that uses an adafruit touch shield to control neopixels.

1. Touch Shield
2. Neopixel LED strip
3. Power Supply
4. DC Power Adapter
5. JST SM Plug Cable
6. JST SM Receptacle Cable

1. Open up the .ino file in the Arduino IDE.
2. Download the necessary libraries which can be found here and here.
3. Wire up the neopixels to your arduino board. Use this neopixel guide and touch shield guide if you need help setting it up.
4. Hook up your arduino to your computer via USB and upload the sketch.
5. Viola! Now you can use the touch shield as a controller to change the colors of the neopixels.
