+# About
+This test application is made for verification of the LPD8808 LED strip driver.
+
+# Usage
+Connect a LPD8808 based LED strip to a board of your choice, build, and flash
+this application. You should see a light running up and down your strip,
+slowly changing it's color.
+
+You might need to adjust the default parameters (number of LEDs on the strip and
+pin configuration). You can do this simply by pre-setting the `CFLAGS`
+environment variable, e.g.:
+```
+$ CFLAGS="-DLPD8808_PARAM_LED_CNT=78"" make all
+```
