TIL that a very nice large addressable LED device I'd been given doesn't use NeoPixel order, but APA106 colour order. And also that, despite it being mentioned in MicroPython's Quick Start Guide for the RP2, the APA106 library isn't included in the standard firmware

(easily fixed: copy ports/esp32/modules/apa106.py to the Raspberry Pi Pico's filesystem)

#MicroPython #rgb_leds

@scruss Ah yes, I think - maybe? - it used to be included but was moved out. Should probably be in micropython-lib and made mip-installable. And the docs updated...

(I do love MicroPython but there's no shortage of tasks to tackle!)

@matt_trentini I'd love to fix this but PRs tend to stagnate. I'd likely need to raise an issue, get it seen and approved of, then start the PR(s) and ... wait.

The module itself is about 3 loc and pings a setting in the neopixel library
