7 months ago Yep, we're aware of it. Thanks. It doesn't sound like it will happen very soon. In the mean time, you might want to try out https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_NeoPixel_SPI.

6 months ago @makermelissa I also faced a similar problem and tried SPI, as you suggested. See here

6 months ago Another option to try if you don't want to wait for the driver to be fixed, is to have use a NeoDriver (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5766) to separately control the lights.
