**Is your feature request related to a problem? Greater than 32 neopixel requested.

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] I have arrays of Neopixel greater than 32. Only 32 RGB LED work using RGB module.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I would like to scroll strings and numbers (temperature in C or Day/Month/Year and humidity reading using "smart matrix" extension for MakeCode. This does work with 16x16 array and with 8x32 array and pins 0/1 or 2 on Jacadaptor with smart matrix but it does not work with RGB Module and an array greater than 32.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. For Makers and Students being able to scroll text and values acquired in a project like gardening or environmental makes the project all the more realistic and engaging when large arrays are used.
