Anyone used smart leds with APA102/SK9822 controller, with Picbasic ?

Hello.
These leds while delivering neopixel led like functionality, run on more common, SPI interface, with much more relaxed timing requirements. So they should be easier to use.
Search delivers no results, does anyone tried to used them with PBP?

I use them a lot. Easy to use in PBP, here some test blinks:

Thanks!
Will order some and let them go :)

Tried it now with single led, it works!
Thanks again :)
