micropython-ws2812
A MicroPython driver for controlling WS2812, WS2812B, and compatible RGB LEDs like AdaFruit NeoPixels.
What is micropython-ws2812?
micropython-ws2812 is a MicroPython driver for controlling WS2812, WS2812B, and compatible RGB LEDs, such as those found in AdaFruit NeoPixel products. It provides a simple interface to drive chains of addressable LEDs from MicroPython-powered boards, enabling custom lighting effects and animations. The driver handles the low-level timing and communication via SPI, abstracting the complexity for developers.
Embedded developers and hobbyists working with MicroPython on platforms like the pyboard, ESP8266, or ESP32, who want to control addressable RGB LEDs for lighting projects, IoT devices, or visual displays.
Developers choose this driver because it's specifically optimized for MicroPython, offering reliable performance with long LED chains, a straightforward API, and practical examples. It's a lightweight, community-tested solution that integrates seamlessly with MicroPython's SPI interface.
