This is a modified version of Adafruits WS2801 library.  It is  function compatable with my LED_LPD8806 library (modified from the Adafruit_LDP8806) so the two can be used interchangable with sketches.

------------------
Example library for driving Adafruit WS2801 pixels!


  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit RGB Pixels!

  These pixels use SPI to transmit the color data, and have built in
  high speed PWM drivers for 24 bit color per pixel
  2 pins are required to interface
