FastLED Basics Episode 4 - Waves and blur

IMPORTANT: Since making this video, a comment from a viewer made me realise that using beatsin8 for LED position is not a high enough resolution for anything but the shortest strips. Please see the note on GitHub Waves and blur/ explaining the situation. The fourth episode of FastLED basics has us looking at the wave and blur functions. Learning how to use beatsin8 / 16 will eable you to make dynamic patterns that move smoothly, and blur will help along the way!
