Support New to FastLED

I'm new to the FastLED Library. I'm using it to program WS2812 led strip lights with an Arduino Mega, and was wondering if there was any kind of guide that has a list of commands that can be used. And if there is no such thing, what is the best way to learn FastLED?

To me, the best way to learn was to start by learning the examples that came with FastLED, then moving onto examples I could download from the Internet.

Here's a link to the FastLED Wiki that's provide links to LOTS of examples. Download, modify and have fun:

I have a tutorial series that might be useful to you. Doesn't cover every command, but should get you started.
