  • Arduino board: INSERT ARDUINO BOARD NAME/TYPE HERE
    Raspberry Pi Pico

  • Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): INSERT ARDUINO
    VERSION HERE

    Arduino IDE 2.0.4

  • List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach a sketch or
    copy the sketch code in too): LIST REPRO STEPS BELOW
    When instantiating a NeoPXL8 object, a NeoPixel object is automatically instantiated. Unfortunately, the claiming of a pio sm is done in the constructor of the NeoPixel, when in this case it is not necessary. The NeoPXL8 constructor creates its own sm and whatnot. This causes a waste of a sm.

    See edits to library files for a fix that seems to work for me.
