The QT Py is compatible with Arduino and with CircuitPython, so you have plenty of options when it comes to coding your lights. 

Here are some guides with sample code that can get you started. You may need to make a few changes to the code samples, but these projects can fairly easily be modified to work on the QT Py.

• CircuitPython LED Animations
• Bubble Table with IR Control
• Adafruit QT Py and NeoPixel LEDs
• Cheerlights Holiday Animations
• FancyLED Library for CircuitPython
