This will not get us connected wirelessly over the internet but it will allow us to write code directly on the RPI and test the light board. We followed this tutorial to hookup the board. I have soldered some wire connections so that it should be pretty easy to hook up.

pip install rpi_ws281x
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel

To run the code on the light board sudo python3 file_name.py

Both computers must be connected to the same network. (Roseville Cemetary)
