The Circuit Playground Express is equipped with 10 NeoPixel LEDs that can be controlled with code to create tons of cool visual effects. In this guide, you will learn the various ways to use the Microsoft MakeCode editor to use those LEDs. The guide also covers how to use additional NeoPixel strips.
Make sure to read the MakeCode primer if you are not familiar with MakeCode and checkout the Adafruit NeoPixel Uberguide for more details on those amazing LEDs.
