Itsy Bitsy M0 - Onboard LED control

Post by fruitmonger »

Hello all!

I'm trying out the Itsy Bitsy M0/M4 and looking for information on controlling the onboard RGB LED. What I'd like to do is turn it off at runtime when running from battery power. Any ideas? There doesn't appear to be anything about this in the documentation, and the only example I found online was for Python (which I'm not using). Thanks for any suggestions!

That's actually a DotStar. See the "pinout" page of the relevant product guide.

Thanks! It was in the datasheet, having the proper name made it much easier to find.

This helped me as well, but I ran into a different issue right away....

Is it possible to control BOTH the onboard DotStar and have Neopixels connected? When I tried to verify some code that included both, the compiler said there was a conflict.
