[board inquiry] RP2350

[c4lliope]

Hello - is there someplace I can find an index of board support? I'm trying to drive ARGB LED string with a RP2350 - the "Plasma 2350 W" board from Pimoroni.

You should be able to use the pico 2 VM, and use this to run the LEDs: https://github.com/karlsson/avm_ls

Depending on the exact type of driver needed for the LED it may need to have the low level driver added, if you can post the exact kind of LED or a link to the datasheet that would help to determine if it is already supported, or to get a low level driver written for the LED if you need help with that.

The board supports ARGB specs: WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar

[UncleGrumpy]

The ws2812 are supported by avm_ls, ap102 are untested there, if run into trouble with dotstars let me know. I have worked with a single dotstar before and can help debug it there is a need.

I forgot to mention you will need to use the 0.7.0-alpha1 pre-release or build from current release-0.7 or main branch so you have the RP2 SPI driver, which avm_ls uses: https://github.com/atomvm/AtomVM/releases/tag/v0.7.0-alpha.1
