I've started playing with a Seeeduino XIAO

 Sadly, it fails to compile RGB LED strip vi's

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running Arduino 1.8.13

Latest versions of needed libraries installed
XIAO device driver installed.

The Adafruit_Neopixel example: "strandtest_wheel"
loads and runs from Arduino IDE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The LabVIEW/Arduino "blink" example compiles/loads/runs
Other examples also compile/load, except for the "RGB LED strip" examples.

The "RGB LED strip" vi's fail to compile.

Here's a sample of the compile-fail/error-output I've been getting:
~~~~

Looks like the Adafruit NeoPixel library used by the compiler does not support the Seeduino.  If you look at the offending line the Pio datatype is specific for the Due but its hitting the #else case here since the library probably doesn't know about this board.  Take a look at a current release of the library, they may have included support for it.

I'm confused. The Adafruit_Neopixel example "strandtest_wheel" calls the same library and loads/runs with the Arduino IDE without errors,

thus I'd expect the LabVIEW compiler to work as well.

I have checked and I do have the latest version of the library installed.

I don't know if this helps, but here's the rest of the error output:

The Compiler automatically installs the library included with the package located here:

[LABVIEWDIR]\vi.lib\Aledyne-TSXperts\Arduino Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW\Arduino Libraries

You would have to replace the NeoPixel library at this location.

Oh "bleep!" that seems to have looped me back to my previous post:

Quick summery: The after updating  Adafruit_Neopixel the XIAO program complied, but the colors were wrong (as per my previous post), and wrong for all my previous Arduino programs/devices. Replacing the new/old libraries did not restore things to normal. Reinstalling both the compiler and the Arduino IDE (including clearing the <user>/Documents/Arduino/libraries..., and //AppData/Local/Arduino15) .. will restore the system to a normal state. [more later... ]

Solved ...sort of.

It seems the RGB LED strip vi's are not compatible with the Adafruit_Neopixel libraries after v1.0.2. Best I can tell Adafruit added WRGB string support in v1.0.3 and (I suspect) in doing such changed the color-channel addresses.

Note: Adafruit now has more than 20 versions of the Neopixel library (now up to v1.7.0) and none above v1.0.2 seem to work properly with the compiler's RGB LED strip vi's. I tested a number of them and from v1.0.3 on the only color available seems to be green.

On a positive note, the v1.0.2 library supports the Seeeduino XIAO's SAMD21 .. so my LED strip vi's load and run properly.

Wondering... are there any WRGB LED pixel-strip tools for this compiler out there somewhere?
