Noob problem please help

Post by not_so_fast_punk »

Hi fellow makers - I am hoping one of you legends can assist. I am trying to program a CPE to address a UV LED nanopixel strip and I cant seem to get it to work (am very new to coding but I've managed to successfully get RGB LEDS to run in a previous project.

I just want to turn the strip on initially - see attached screenshot from makecode.

Are the UV LEDs treated differently in makecode? I think I have it correctly wired and on start im trying to 'create strip' on pin A1 and turn everything on but the lights dont react..

If anyone can assist it would be massively appreciated - thanks so much!

You haven't set values for the LEDs in the block you show. You still need to set R, G, & B values for these NeoPixels. The difference is that they are made with 3 UV LEDs rather than colored ones. Other than that they work the same as RGB NeoPixels.
