Installation

• Enter to BOOTSEL mode connect boot testpoints placed close to U3 chip.
• Download CircuitPython firmware for rp2040. There is avaliable here or for latest version go to CircuitPython site.
• Copy .uf2 firmware to device

Example code

import board
import time
import neopixel

LED_NUMBER = 8
BUTTON_PIN = board.GP22
LED_PIN = board.GP13

COLOR = (10,0,15)
disp_pix = neopixel.NeoPixel(LED_PIN, LED_NUMBER, auto_write=False)

while True:
	for i in range(LED_NUMBER):
		disp_pix[i] = COLOR
		disp_pix.show()
		time.sleep(0.1)
		
	for i in range(LED_NUMBER):
		disp_pix[i] = (0,0,0)
		disp_pix.show()
		time.sleep(0.1)

Expected results will be that:
