Hello SEEED forum,
Using XIAO SAMD21 and Arduino IDE to run a with 50
WS2812 RGB strip.
Using this schematic the circuit was breadboarded
Have tried several sketches some using the FastLED
library and other using the Adafruit Neopixel library.
All of them light the first LED chip green. But
none of them will operate the strip.
Does anyone have experience with a sketch that will
operate a WS28212 strip?
Thanks.
