New to Arduino and don't have a clue how to code for my project

Projects General Guidance

Can anyone help me out please . I have zero knowledge about Arduino or coding of such and I need to write a code for my project. I want a PIR sensor to activate the LED stripe, where the whole stripe will light up to the same colour (example red). After 1 second later another colour of light (example yellow) and travel through the LED stripe.

I don't know if this make sense or not or doable, but please help me out if you can. I am really stuck. Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum

Have you already got the LED strip ? If so, what type are they ? Have you got an Arduino and if so, which board ?

I have brought the WS281812B one but haven't arrived yet. I have the Arduino uno.

Are you sure that the LEDs are not WS2812B ?

Install the FastLED library and look at the examples as a starting point
