Usage Description

Before using the colorful light strip, load the library in Mind+. Open the Mind+ programming platform, find the "Extension" in the lower left corner and click it, then click the WS2812 RGB light in the "display" to load the relevant commands. At this time, the display module will appear in the command area. After completing the above steps, connect the light strip to the micro:bit board to control the effect of the light strip through programming.
