Yes, it's working!
Thank you for the fast support. Your addon gives to the openFrameworks/Rpi new potential.

Hi, thanks for this, I just fixed the bug.

for enable SPI1 read this:
http://terminal28.blogspot.it/2016/05/enabling-spi1-on-raspberry-pi-bzero23.html

if you use a raspberry pi 3 with active bluetooth
you have to disable it, to make SPI1 work.

Thank you for the reply.

I manage to used the SPI1 following your advice but I have also to edit the spi2.h. In this header you have restrict the ports to use only SPI0 with this code:
class SPI2 { public: string spiDev0 = "/dev/spidev0.0" ; string spiDev1 = "/dev/spidev0.1" ;

To solve it quick and dirty, I just edited to this:
string spiDev0 = "/dev/spidev1.0" ;

and I called the setupAPA102 with the channel to 0:
apa.setupAPA102(0);

Anyway it works for me now, thank you!

later i fix this too, thank you!

I added a second setup method in the SPI class,
where you can pass the device as the first parameter.

and i added a path parameter to the setupAPA102(path,channel,speed) method
with default on SPI0.

unfortunately I can not do tests at the moment because I'm traveling,
if by chance you can do a test, so I close this issues..

Ciao
