// This demo lights up a single LED in blue. It then proceeds
// to pulsate the LED rapidly.
//
// /!\ NOTE FOR nRF52840-DK users /!\
//
// If you're using the nRF52840-DK, the default "Vdd" power source
// will set the GPIO I/O voltage to 3.0v, using the onboard regulator.
// This can sometimes not be enough to drive the WS2812B signal if you
// are not using an external regulator. If you set the board to "USB" power
// instead (and provide power via the "nRF USB" connector), the board will
// instead power the I/Os at 3.3v, which is often enough (but still out of
// official spec) for the WS2812Bs to work properly.

// In the following declarations, setting the high bit tells the PWM
// to reverse polarity, which is what the WS2812B expects.
