      What pins are the RGB LED connected to? I wish too expose this LED on external to the enclosure. Should i use some other pins to achieve this or can i use the existing pins on an external RGB led?

        Due to the way the WS2812 LEDs work they have to be connected in a chain and this is not possible with the onboard LED. I have successfully used this library to drive other WS2812 LEDs though https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gadgetoid/wipy-WS2812/master/ws2812alt.py

            If you have a look at our halloween pumpkin project on hackster https://www.hackster.io/user83346052/raw-lora-communication-with-pumpkins-f02630 you can see that you can get a lot more than 2 RGB LEDs working if you need to
