Hey All,

I have been using the Blynk board as a WIFI sensor that acts as an http client and webserver and does a great job. I am not using the firmware preloaded onto the Blynk board nor am I using Blynk. I just happen to have this board and was out of my other esp8266 boards.

How do I interface with the onboard RGB LED (WS2812). I understand that it is SPI bus and possibly connected to Blynk board pin #4, but how do I interface with it (libraries, classes, etc.).

Has anyone else used the Blynk board for non-Blynk actions and got the RGB LED to work? I could use a little help.

Thank you
