NeoPixel Component Pin Label Doesn't Update

Post by pixil3d »

Hello,

I have a QT Py ESP32-S2 and a NeoPixel Driver BFF with NeoPixels on pin A3. In the device page, the labeling doesn't seem to update with the correct pin. The neopixel component set up on pin A3 but the label says it's D8. See screenshot below

Great bug report, thank you!

We chased down what's happening and discovered that it's a difference between the pin's internal name and the display name intended for users to see. For those interested, you can see both listed on the same pin in our open source board JSON repository:
https://github.com/adafruit/Wippersnapp ... on#L33-L39

That little label you've pointed out should be using the same value as we see in the pin selector form, which is the "displayName". This will be fixed in the next release, probably sometime next week.

Thanks again!
