NeoPixel length within Python library #93

Closed AndrewMohawk closed 3 years ago

AndrewMohawk commented 3 years ago

It looks like you cannot set the neopixel strip length within this Python library, but it "updateLength" function seems to be available elsewhere: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel/blob/master/Adafruit_NeoPixel.cpp#L126

correct, you need to set the length on initialization! you could always set it longer and not use all the pixels

I'm building something that allows people to configure their system dynamically by watching the changes and they might have strips that are different sizes, so I was hoping the updateLength function would be exposed as well since its in the other libraries. I can just re-initialize on changes instead.
