A small test to make node drive a 32-led rgb strip as seen here:

Code mostly translated from this example:

Update:
Difficulty driving the led array with only the first led lighting up.
This:

suggests that powering the raspberry from usb is a surefire way of nuking it.
Basically the LED's draw more power than the usb port can pump through.
