            next_color = colors[(i + 1) % num_colors]
            for step in range(steps):
                for led in range(num_leds):
                    color = tuple(
                        int(colors[i][c] + ((next_color[c] - colors[i][c]) * (step / steps)))
                        for c in range(3)
                    )

            neo.fill_strip(0, 0, 0)
            for j in range(meteor_length):
                if i - j >= 0 and i - j < neo.num_leds:
                    # Fade the tail
                    faded_color = tuple(int(color[k] * (1 - j / meteor_length)) for k in range(3))
                    neo.set_led_color(i - j, *faded_color)

### Update LED Strip Hardware

Source: https://context7.com/vanshksingh/pi5neo/llms.txt

The `update_strip()` method sends the buffered LED color data to the physical NeoPixel strip via SPI. It can accept an optional `sleep_duration` to introduce a delay after the update, or `None` for no delay.

```python
from pi5neo import Pi5Neo
import time

neo = Pi5Neo('/dev/spidev0.0', 10, 800)

# Standard update with default 0.1 second delay
neo.fill_strip(255, 0, 0)
neo.update_strip()  # Default sleep_duration=0.1

# Update with custom delay for faster animations
neo.fill_strip(0, 255, 0)
neo.update_strip(sleep_duration=0.05)

# Update with no delay for maximum speed
neo.fill_strip(0, 0, 255)
neo.update_strip(sleep_duration=None)

# Batch multiple LED changes before single update
for i in range(neo.num_leds):
    neo.set_led_color(i, i * 25, 0, 255 - i * 25)
neo.update_strip()  # Send all changes at once
```

--------------------------------

### Set Individual LED Color

Source: https://context7.com/vanshksingh/pi5neo/llms.txt

The `set_led_color()` method allows setting the color of a single LED at a given index. It returns `True` for valid indices and `False` otherwise. Changes are buffered until `update_strip()` is called.

```python
from pi5neo import Pi5Neo
import time

neo = Pi5Neo('/dev/spidev0.0', 10, 800)

# Set individual LEDs to different colors
neo.set_led_color(0, 255, 0, 0)    # First LED: Red
neo.set_led_color(1, 0, 255, 0)    # Second LED: Green
neo.set_led_color(2, 0, 0, 255)    # Third LED: Blue
neo.set_led_color(4, 255, 255, 0)  # Fifth LED: Yellow
neo.update_strip()

# Create a gradient effect
for i in range(neo.num_leds):
    brightness = int(255 * (i / neo.num_leds))
    neo.set_led_color(i, brightness, 0, 255 - brightness)
neo.update_strip()

# For RGBW strips, include white channel as fourth parameter
# neo.set_led_color(0, 255, 0, 0, 128)  # Red with white
```

--------------------------------

### Clear All LEDs on the Strip

Source: https://context7.com/vanshksingh/pi5neo/llms.txt

The `clear_strip()` method turns off all LEDs by setting their colors to black (0, 0, 0, or 0, 0, 0, 0 for RGBW). This is a convenience method equivalent to `fill_strip(0, 0, 0)`.

```python
from pi5neo import Pi5Neo
import time

neo = Pi5Neo('/dev/spidev0.0', 10, 800)

# Turn on all LEDs
neo.fill_strip(255, 255, 255)
neo.update_strip()
time.sleep(2)

# Clear the strip (turn off all LEDs)
neo.clear_strip()
neo.update_strip()
```

--------------------------------

### Firework Explosion Effect using Python

Source: https://context7.com/vanshksingh/pi5neo/llms.txt

Simulates a firework explosion by expanding outward from a random center point with a random color. This code uses the pi5neo, time, and random modules. It takes a Pi5Neo object and an optional delay. The animation runs continuously.

```python
from pi5neo import Pi5Neo
import time
import random

def firework(neo, delay=0.05):
    center = random.randint(0, neo.num_leds - 1)
    color = (random.randint(0, 255), random.randint(0, 255), random.randint(0, 255))

    for radius in range(neo.num_leds):
        neo.fill_strip(0, 0, 0)
        if center - radius >= 0:
            neo.set_led_color(center - radius, *color)
        if center + radius < neo.num_leds:
            neo.set_led_color(center + radius, *color)
        neo.update_strip()
        time.sleep(delay)

neo = Pi5Neo('/dev/spidev0.0', 10, 800)

# Continuous fireworks
while True:
    firework(neo)
```
