Neopixel Data on the serial port

Hello
Is it possible to send the neopixel data2 to the serial port in order to send to another board. thank you

While this is possible, there is currently no code for doing it.
It wouldn’t be to hard to write a blade that outputs data as serial though.

However, I don’t think you want to send neopixel data over serial. It’s pretty high bitrate (800kbit) and so it would most likely overload the BT connection.

A different, and probably better way to do something similar would be to build something that forwards SB_* calls, like “on”, “off”, “clash”, etc. This would be significantly less data. The second proffie would then have its own styles and blades that it runs based on those calls.

(SB stands for “saber base”, which is a base class for blades and other things in ProffieOS, it is the primary way that events are sent around in ProffieOS.)

I’m not sure if BT is fast enough for any of this stuff to feel good and interactive though. If the latency is higher than ~50ms, then you would get a noticable delay.
