Hi, I understand this is an old topic, but I'd like to suggest using FastLED for this, I've had much luck using FastLED's library for this model.
http://fastled.io/
After reading the FastLED library setup your definitions like this:
#define NUM_LEDS 10
#define DATA_PIN 9 // whatever pin you connect the green wire to
#define LED_CHIPSET TM1803 // Radio shack's chipset (SKU 2760339)
#define COLOR_ORDER GBR; // Important for correct color naming.
Here's a link to my github, all of my projects are based off of the TM1803
