Seesaw-based NeoDriver does I2C to NeoPixel conversion
NeoPixel LEDs (a.k.a WS2812 / SK6812 family) are a super-easy way to add addressable RGB lighting with only one GPIO. they're ubiquitous on microcontrollers, but some chips or SBC's dont have neopixel support due to the precision timing required to send data. we often get folks asking how to get NeoPixels working on some OrangeBananaOnionRockchipAllWinner Pi type board, given we have our Blinka library that provides support for CircuitPython libraries. but if theres no neopixel_write implementation written for that platform, it just wont work. a quick solution is this seesaw-based NeoDriver…
