klipper-led_effect VS Neptune-Elegoo3-Klipper

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.

You can compile the printer firmware yourself following the guide but there are precompiled versions for the N3 floating around, see below. You can flash the firmware in this repository which is precompiled. This repository has a config which is a bit more current so I would use that but you can modify the config in klipper on the fly so you don't need to worry about that you get klipper running.

A few have done klipper and there are config files for it. https://github.com/bsas/Neptune-Elegoo3-Klipper
