DotStar support for the itsybitsy m0 #2591

Closed Elara6331 closed 2 years ago

Elara6331 commented 2 years ago

The itsybitsy m0 and some other adafruit boards have an integrated DotStar LED. There is currently no support for it in TinyGo as far as I can tell.

Here is the arduino library for DotStar LEDs: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_DotStar

The DotStar is actually an APA102. Please see https://github.com/tinygo-org/drivers/tree/release/examples/apa102

That should probably be documented somewhere, or at least have a pin alias for it similar to machine.NEOPIXEL.

Perhaps you would like to submit a PR to the TinyGo site? See https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo-site

Yes, thank you, I can do that. Where would be a good place to document this? Would I put it in the microcontrollers page for all the boards with a DotStar? Or maybe it's better to make a dedicated page for DotStar.

I would suggest add to each, with something in the "Notes" section.
