Getting started with NeoPixels
I'm hoping to create a lighting system for under my bike (recumbent trike). I ordered a NeoPixel starter strip to start learning how to program the lights. What controller would be best to start learning with? My final project will incorporate two strips approximately 6-7 feet long. My biggest question is how to power strips that long as I understand power is extremely important to consider as you add lights.

There are many tutorials in the learn guide https://learn.adafruit.com/search?q=neopixels and the Uberguide is very helpful and informative https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide
If you plan to use this in house while learning most processors are good. You need to decide what programming language you are comfortable with and pick a processor for it. Take a look at the color changer https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-mat ... ke-sweater
and the skateboard project https://learn.adafruit.com/flora-neopix ... rd-upgrade
