Do RGB pixels require PWM?

Post by cyborg5 »

I'm about to start a project on an Arduino Micro and I need some indicator lights. Rather than wiring up a bunch of individual LEDs with resistors etc. I figured I would just line up a couple of your v2 RGB pixels. All of the examples naturally are shown with the Flora and all of the output pins of the Flora are PWM. That got me to wondering does the RGB pixel require a PWM pin or will any available output pin work?

If you're using the NeoPixel library, any available pin should work.
