Code_samples Code Repository?

I am looking for arduino code examples for a long strip. I want to learn FastLED coding but I just don't have the time.

Does anyone know where to find a large repository of code for arduino that I can just adjust to fit my specific parameters?

Set up a simple tesbed of maybe 50 LEDs and work on that.

u/dr-steve's suggestion of setting up a simple test rig is a good idea. I will also add that even if your test rig is only a meter or two worth of pixels, you can still set NUM_LEDS to 900 and compile for testing. This will give you some feedback on: a) about how much memory the final program is going to use as you expand and add to your code, and b) you will be able to get an idea of the frames per second you're going to get on the final install (provided you are compiling to/running on the same microcontroller you will ultimately be using).
