      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?

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

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