Soldered WS2812 MicroPython Library

WS2812B is an addressable RGB LED with an integrated driver, individually controllable over a single data pin (no separate driver chip or I2C interface needed). This repo holds example scripts for driving WS2812B-based LEDs/strips/rings using MicroPython's built-in neopixel module - there's no custom Soldered driver class, since neopixel already covers it. Works with any of Soldered's WS2812B boards, including:
