ESP8266-WS2811

Requirements

Linux (I've not tried other environments)
The esp-open-sdk
An environment variable "ESP_ROOT" pointing to the root of the above sdk
An addition to the PATH environment variable, pointing into $ESP_ROOT/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin/

Copy the user_config.h.template header to user_config.h (Within the include/ directory) and enter your SSID and password.
Get your hardware setup - the signal will be sent to the uart RX pin - see the KiCad project and schematic in pcb/ for more information.
Connect your ESP and find out which port it is connected to.
Get your ESP ready for flashing over UART
Comile and flash by running make flash PORT=<esp>, where <esp> would usually be something like /dev/ttyUSB0

You can then control the led strip by sending UDP packets with the following format:

[Packet] 	:= [LED] * ledCount
[LED]		:= [r: byte][g: byte][b: byte]

Set the first driver to magenta:

byte[] packet = new byte[]{0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF};
