Hello.
I've checked code examples found here, and by my understanding, I see that it is required to send tight timed pulse signals for those leds, which some folks done via assembly. So my question is as follows. I have some code running which does a lot of things, like reading DS3231, 18B20, driving nixie tubes, etc. I have idea to use WS2812b leds as configurable blinking separator. So I need it to be on for 500ms, off 500ms. Color defined once, by user, at startup. So I need constant running code to keep it turned on, or I just send burst of pulses, turn it on, then do my things, then again send code for off, and can do my things?
