ws2812

A driver for WS2812B programmable LEDs in MakeCode.

Usage

sendBuffer

The package exposes ws2812b.sendBuffer that bit-bangs a color buffer for WS2812B LEDs over a pin.

See https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-neopixel for an example of usage.

setBufferMode

This function allows to specify the color layout in the buffer.

#define LIGHTMODE_RGB 1
#define LIGHTMODE_RGBW 2
#define LIGHTMODE_RGB_RGB 3

~ hint

Bluetooth disabled: This package disables BLE as the real time requirements of the WS2812 conflict with the BLE stack.

~

Simulator support

The sendBuffer function is supported by the micro:bit simulator!
