 73      :param float brightness: Brightness of the pixels between 0.0 and 1.0
 74      :param bool auto_write: True if the dotstars should immediately change when
 75          set. If False, `show` must be called explicitly.
 76      :param str pixel_order: Set the pixel order on the strip - different
 77           strips implement this differently. If you send red, and it looks blue
 78           or green on the strip, modify this! It should be one of the values above.

 80          using 'soft' SPI). This is only a recommendation; the actual clock
 81          rate may be slightly different depending on what the system hardware
 82          can provide.
