Circuit playground Bluefruit neopixel problem

Post by Rzjohnson »

Hello, I purchased a circuit playground Bluefruit on September 8,2021. Order number 2652014. I am having a problem with one of the on board neopixels. When I tell it to display a color that has any blue the blue part of the neopixel then will stay blue for the rest of the time the board is powered. It behaves this way with any code I upload to it. The only way to get it to turn off again is to remove power. It behaves normally with all colors that doe not have a blue component. I am wondering if it’s a hardware problem that I need a replacement?
Thanks
Richard

Sounds like a bad NeoPixel.

Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your order number, and request the replacement of one Circuit Playground Bluefruit.
