WS2812.py

# ========== DESCRIPTION==========
# Example using PIO to drive a set of WS2812 LEDs.
#
# The following code was originally written by
# the Raspberry Pi Foundation. You can find this 
# example on GitHub.
#
#    https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-micropython-examples/blob/master/pio/neopixel_ring/neopixel_ring.py
#
# Note that the 'NUM_LEDs' was adjusted to 1. Also
# the GPIO for the addressable WS2812 RGB LED called
# `PIN_NUM` was adjusted for the Pro Micro RP2040.
