How to config an illuminated button wried to a Free[1-3] pin?

Hello, I’m a new user here. In the last month I’ve successfully built 2 lightsabers that I’m very happy about.

However, in my second build, I wired an illuminated switch as per the following image.

In the config file I used also the one generated by the same webpage, so I have a blade config that looks like the following:

BladeConfig blades[] = {
 { 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
    SimpleBladePtr<CreeXPE2WhiteTemplate<550>, NoLED, NoLED, NoLED, blade5Pin, -1, -1, -1>()
  , CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};

As far as I understand, the led on my button is treated as another blade, but with a single pixel. What I tried first, was duplicating the blade styles (as if I had 2 blades), but this resulted in the LED always turning white (regardless of the blade style color). In some styles, it doesn’t even turn on.

What I want is the LED to mimic what is happening in the neopixel stick. Maybe mimic one of the pixels in the stick? How can I achieve that?

Thanks!

Does your illuminated button support changing colors?

Wow, it’s white only… I was almost sure it was an addressable rgb. I’m such a newbie. Thank you so much. I’ll shamelessly mark this as the solution xD
