RGB LED on Airlift Shield Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

Hello,
I am looking for a way to access and control the RGB LED on Airlift Shield, product no. 4285. I have read that the colors of the LED are connected to the GPIO pins 25, 26 and 27 of the ESP32 chip, but I am wondering, is there a way to control these GPIO pins using commands sent from an Arduino Uno (or a Metro 0 Express) via the SPI bus without having to reprogram the firmware in the ESP32?
Thank you in advance.

There's a digital write in the CircuitPython library you can use:

I also found a “setLEDs()” method in WiFi.cpp, which is what I was looking for. Thank you for your help.

I found a bug in the code for the setLEDs() method of the WiFiClass class in the WiFi.cpp file. The pins for the Red and Green LEDs are switched in the code. According to the Pinouts page of the "Adafruit Airlift Shield - ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor" Learning Guide, the Red LED is connected to pin 26 of the ESP32, and the Green LED is connected to pin 25. In the code, the Red LED is connected to pin 25, and the Green LED is connected to pin 26. The Learning Guide is correct.

Yep, does appear to be swapped in the firmware code. Thanks. Passed the info on.
