is there a already provided / ready to use library for the APA102 LEDs in combination with the WiPy (v1 - the kickstarter one) ?
on my search i found
- Driving DotStar APA102 LED strings with the BBC micro:bit → bare SPI generation
- docs.micropython.org/../esp8266/quickref.html#apa102-driver →library but only in ESP* available?
the bare SPI code should be fairly easy to write - as i have done some drivers for this sort of led-controller already (in c++)
but i originally just wanted to do a quick hack to get the leds light up

background:
i have an unused WiPy in my collection and would like to get some simple led-thing with 'web-page-control' (really simple) to work..
it would be my first MicroPython project - and yes i know it could get complex fast

my first goal is to just get my led-strip to work.
( i know i need some sort of precautions for level-shifting the 3.3V to the 5V for the leds...)
i hope there is some ideas or libs out there you can point me at

i am open to all kind of ideas
