Configurations VS klipper-led_effect

Check Marlin‘s configuration repository at https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations for your specific board …

Go to the marlin github https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin and download the latest stable or bugfix release. Also, download the configurations that match the version of the firmware you downloaded https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations

Generally you would start with the Example config files from the Marlin Github https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations/tree/import-2.1.x/config/example

download Marlin configurations folder v2.0.9.6 from https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations

Current release, not bugfix branch? Started from the example config for your printer corresponding to the version of Marlin you downloaded?

Download the Marlin Example configs > https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/ConfigurationsThis contains the pre written configs for most popular printers so much of the config work is already done for you

I would add the Auto Build Marlin plugin (as well as PlatformIO) to your VS Code install, download the latest stable version of Marlin from the official source, along with the configuration examples. Copy the example Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h for the Ender 3 Pro with Mini E3 V3, to your Marlin folder and compile that. The only important difference between an Ender 3 Pro and an Ender 3 V2, as far as firmware is concerned, is the V2 display, which you're not using, so don't use any of the config examples for a V2. The Pro version should have the correct serial port assignments:

Hello group. I have a question about neopixels. On my Marlin setup I defined Neopixel and Neopixel2. All LEDs ran off of the same pin. I was looking at this example. https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect/blob/master/docs/LED_Effect.md On this it shows 3 separate pins. So now I am confused. Can someone please explain to me how this works. I am just a beginner at this.

However, it is possible using klipper_led-effect

I'd suggest playing around with that until you feel like you are comfortable with it, and then if you want to start looking into animations and such you can check out klipper-led_effect. Just be warned (IMO) it's kind of confusing to configure.

Yeah as a matter of fact klipper-led_effect literally just added this option yesterday.

Ok cool. What I'm trying to do is to add a Neopixel ring to the underside of my build plate (don't worry, I've already sorted out thermal insulation so they don't burn) and have it change colour automatically based off certain parameters. I want it white and breathing slowly when it turns on, changing from blue to red while it's heating and between 30⁰ and 60⁰, then breathing red while it prints. Finally it would turn green upon the print completing, and then go in reverse order from red to blue and back to white as the bed cools and lands below 30⁰. I've been researching this shit all day and have started to build a led_progress.cfg as instructed by this page, however, according to this page I can have all kinds of control over the lights.
