Artoo-spark and neopixel leds

[dsaito]

Hi. I'm wondering if I could use the neopixel address accessable leds from Adafruit with the artoo-spark library. Adafruit provides their own library for their led strings, rings and matrices. So, would this be possible by maybe inserting the neopixel code into artoo's "work block"?

That is not possible, due to how the code runs directly on the Arduino itself.

However, you could write code to use Firmata's SPI but the Neopixel is a lot more freq. sensitive than many other devices. YMMV. We'd love to help out, seems like we will need to acquire some hardware.

I appreciate your attention. I just stumbled upon this github project: https://github.com/technobly/SparkCore-NeoPixel. It is based on C, so maybe it could be ported to Ruby and, who knows, incorporated into the artoo-spark library. I really wish I were more prolific in Ruby to help you; however, my programming skills are very limited. Thank you and keep up the good work!
