Notes:          Location of compressed Neopixel file
                https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel

1.  Download the compressed Neopixel file from    
     https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel
2.  Locate the directory where your Arduino sketches are stored.
      For example, "H:\My Documents\Arduino"
3.  Click on the downloaded ZIP file to open its location and content.
4.  Drag the file located inside the ZIP file,
     which includes "Adafruit_Neopixel-mster", into the
     directory that you found in step 2.
5.  To use NeoPixel, first open the file you extracted in step 4.
     Then, copy all of the files inside.
6.  Find the Neopixel file that you are using, for example,
     "H:\My Documents\Arduino\skethc_dec12a"
7.  Enter the file for the program, and paste the copied files from
     step 5 into this location in step 6.
8.  Open the Arduino program and change the first line of code from
     #include to  #include  "./Adafuit_NeoPixel.h"
