For micro:bit + Crickit

For micro:bit, there is a small sun icon on Pin P16 on Crickit to help you remember that is the pin connected for

NeoPixels.

You will probably need to add the NeoPixels extension to MakeCode for NeoPixel control. Click the Advanced button

then Add Package. Select the

Adafruit NeoPixels

extension. You will now have a new code block group called

Neopixel which has the blocks you want to control the NeoPixel strip.

The code below does what the above code does for CPX - creates a strip of 30 NeoPixels connected to Pin 16 and

then displays a rainbow animation forever.

Then the program shows the rainbow animation on the strip forever. You can do lots of other things on your strip. It's

that easy!
