MrKlingon<p>Weird: I’ve got one neopixel on a Circuit Playground where the green seems to have failed. Blue and red still work. All the other nine are fine. I’m assuming there’s not a lot to do to fix it (other than buy another CPX). Has anyone else had this happen?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/adafruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adafruit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/circuitplaygroundexpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>circuitplaygroundexpress</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/circuitplayground" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>circuitplayground</span></a></p>

MrKlingon<p>I'm reviewing some older CircuitPython programs for the CPX - and finding they hit memory errors in 9.x, much like what I saw with the neotrinkey.</p><p>It seems like my old practice "create service modules and include them" runs into memory problems. </p><p>Not a big problem - more of an interesting challenge to update the code to work.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/adafruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adafruit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/circuitpython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>circuitpython</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/circuitplayground" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>circuitplayground</span></a></p>

MrKlingon<p>Odd CircuitPlayground problem: two of my three CPX's stopped playing nicely with Thonny.
