RGB LED + SPI not working



  • I'd like to use both the RGBLED and the SPI interface separately (for controlling an external display) on the WiPy. Initializing the SPI interface disables the RGB LED:

    import pycom
    from machine import SPI
    pycom.heartbeat(False)
    pycom.rgbled(0x404000)
    spi_display = SPI(0, mode=SPI.MASTER, baudrate=8000000, polarity=0, phase=0, pins=('P9', 'P8', 'P2'))
    while 1:
        pycom.rgbled(0x004000)
    

    The first rgbled call works (yellow), the second one (green) doesn't. Commenting out the SPI initialization makes it work again.
    Any ideas?



  • Stupid mistake, I thought I had checked the pinout... thanks!
    Set it to None and now it works.



  • If you look at the pinout, you will see that P2 is used for the RGB LED.
