In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.
In this video, I will show you how to control a NeoPixel strip using microPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico W. We use the 8 pixel strip from the Sunfounder kit. The concepts we show will be the same for much larger strips, just for larger strips you need a separate 5V DC power supply. We create a dynamic and dramatic display by stepping the pixels through all the colors of the rainbow. We do this by incorporating an HSV color wheel, and step through all the angles of the color wheel. We convert those colors to RGB and display them on the neopixel pixels.
