Rgb Animator

I have the "18 RGB LED PCB" from the DIY section of the store. It's easy to operate via the RGB Animator, but I would like to write a script to use on my mobile app. I've looked through the forum but can not find any code examples. Can anyone point me in the direction of a snipet of code showing how to activate the 18 RGB LED PCB. Thanks
