Adafruit_NeoPixel Libary commands

hello

I'm quite new to Arduino projects and neopixel LEDs, I've been working on this project:

I'm working on adding a rotating pattern to it and need a little help with code,
basically I want to shift the lit LEDs from the a hand position into the next hand position.... and so on, so that a spinning effect is created

any ideas?

You want to identify the LED numbers that represent the LEDs you want to animate and put them in an array. Then simply go through the array with an array index increasing by one each time.
You might also want to write a function that wipes that array, so you can call it just before you use the next array value to turn on the next LED.
