## ws2801.init()
Initializes the module and sets the pin configuration.
#### Syntax
`ws2801.init(pin_clk, pin_data)`
#### Parameters
- `pin_clk` pin for the clock. Supported are GPIO 0, 2, 4, 5.
- `pin_data` pin for the data. Supported are GPIO 0, 2, 4, 5.
#### Returns
`nil`
## ws2801.write()
Sends a string of RGB Data in 24 bits to WS2801. Don't forget to call `ws2801.init()` before.
#### Syntax
`ws2801.write(string)`
####Parameters
- `string` payload to be sent to one or more WS2801.
It should be composed from an RGB triplet per element.
- `R1` the first pixel's red channel value (0-255)
- `G1` the first pixel's green channel value (0-255)
- `B1` the first pixel's blue channel value (0-255)<br />
... You can connect a lot of WS2801...
- `R2`, `G2`, `B2` are the next WS2801's Red, Green, and Blue channel values
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
ws2801.write(string.char(255,0,0, 0,255,0, 0,0,255))
```
