Controlling the onboard LEDs, those right on the controller board, was the first exercise in putting incoming code to work. When the phrase, "Golden" arrives, it turns on an amber LED, and the phrase, "Turn off the light", will turn it off again.
Since the central controller currently relays information from a serial terminal, it only sends characters so typing numbers results in the ASCII code for that number. With the ASCII table it is easy to figure out which number is being sent, and the map() function allowed me to use a single a digit, 0-9, to control the brightness of the red, green, and blue in each addressable LED on a short strip.
