Hi Robert, If you can paste the entire output error, it will help, because it will likely mention which line the error was on. Also, precision is key, because you state the error is 'Leds does not name…

Now nobody can make APA102C in china, all APA102C in china you bought is fake LED, because of orginal APA supplier didn't provide IC for china factory any more.....i think you can choose APA107 or SK9822 to replace APA102C.

Hi Robert,

If you can paste the entire output error, it will help, because it will likely mention which line the error was on.
Also, precision is key, because you state the error is 'Leds does not name a type' but there is no identifier called 'Leds' -
there is one called 'leds' and the capitalisation makes a big difference. So, I can't tell if there is a mistake in the typing of the error message, or some other mistake.
This ambiguity would not occur, if you can precisely paste the exact output you see.
