The board uses D2 (GPIO 4) as data line. Since the same line is used as SDA for I2C modules it cannot be used in conjunction with I2C shields.

The board uses D2 (GPIO 4) as data line (or GPIO 21 when running on the ESP32). Since the same line is used as SDA for I2C modules it cannot be used in conjunction with I2C shields.

From the software point of view a driver is already available in the micro Python library named neopixel. Accessing the WS2812B using this driver is the pretty simple.

Here is a program demonstrating this:

In Cayenne we can define 3 sliders which control the intensity of each color component. The program subscribing top the slider control channels and driving the LEDs correspondingly is found here:

There is also a little program simply switching the LED off:
