Hello, am new to STM32 products. I tried Googling for LED libraries for STM32 but couldn't find one

I want to build a giant LED display that will scroll messages. I hope to add effects to the messages. I can't seem to find any library for ​STM products. And can someone give me a guide on how to create a custom LED library as well. Thanks

Something using WS281x LED strings?

Hopefully your programming skills are better than your googling skills

Thanks... My Googling skill is growing weak but I'd improve it​

Thanks Clive,

I was trying to figure out how to answer some of these questions without getting snarky. It's hard.

I mean, the first step in getting any embedded system running is blinking an LED. This raises more and more questions. What kind of LED? Bit banging, timers, SPI LED driver? Which compiler? Do you know the way to San Jose?

Now when people ask me how to get into embedded systems, I just say "practice, baby, practice".
