I need to program a digital led strip (approximately 2 meters), so it will show specific patterns. Could you please help me and explain how to name each led, it's brightness and colour in the code?
The strip is going to be connected to 3 FSR and different values will provoke different patterns. I have tried this with 3 LED pins and it's pretty easy to program as each pin refers to an individual number (I mean arduino connection). So there is a condition, for example - if the value of FSR 1 is between 30 and 50, ledpin1 high ledpin2 low ledpin3 low. But with the strip there are going to be 2 connections for DI and CI.
What is the best way to do it with the strip?
I have no idea about the code or library where I can find it.. I am just playing with led. and I wanted to write the code myself. But I'm pretty new to this so I've no idea how to name all that stuff. Can I get something alike somewhere to get an idea? I couldn't find anything myself.

Well, we have no idea which LED strip you are using, so asking here is rather pointless. Every strip manufacturer that thinks there product will work with an Arduino usually links some library that they think will work.
Can you recommend some brand? I need to make a mask and incorporate a strip inside of silicone, so it will be like a 3D matrix and I need to program every single light. It's a student project and I'm really new to arduino, so I need to learn things. I would appreciate if experienced users can recommend something. I have checked some tutorials but didn't find how to code every light separately.

That is exactly what I need! Thank you! How long did the shipping take?
Do you have some code examples? How do you name every single led and colour features? (sorry if I name something wrong it's kind of intuitive naming)
The Chinese sellers on eBay are away until about February 15, 2016 since they usually take two weeks holiday for Chinese New Year.
If you buy now today, you won't get anything for at least four (4) weeks if you are in the USA. It usually takes even longer for other countries. 1 week + 1 week to process when they get back since they will be swamped with orders that have accumulated in two weeks + 2 weeks for shipping
Under normal situation, they usually take 2 calendar days to ship and then 14 calendar days for shipping by ePacket (make sure they use ePacket)
