Unable to use Camera module with Neopixels #5

When trying to use both the Camera will not respond - it gives a UART error. Neopixels work fine though. Even just requiring the library seems to trigger it.

@abritinthebay thanks for reporting this. Can you post your exact code here or in a gist?

I sadly don't have the Camera code anymore (it was at the Node Summit hackathon on Day Zero and I switched to trying to get audio to work rather than the camera). But it was literally me doing the following with npx - and any attempt to access the camera with the library loaded will kill Camera communication (tho the neopixels would work fine).

var Npx = require("npx");
var npx = new Npx(150);
var colors = [
    "#00247D",
    "#00247D",
    "#00247D",
    "#00247D",
    "#00247D",
    "#00247D",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#14CF2B",
    "#FFFFFF",
    "#FFFFFF",
    "#FFFFFF",
    "#FFFFFF",
    "#FFFFFF",
    "#FFFFFF"
];

colors.forEach(function(color, index, colors) {
  var animation = npx.newAnimation(1, 1);
  var pattern = colors.slice(index).concat(colors.slice(0, index));
  // Set patten on animation
  animation.setPattern(pattern);
  npx.enqueue(animation, 1);
}, this);

npx.loop();
