Make sure to to download the NeoPixel library. Below is fire code that will change the color of the NeoPixel strip/ring - copy it into your Adafruit Arduino IDE as-is and then mod the LED Pins and number of pixels to make it your own. Remember that to program GEMMA/Trinket you need to download the special Adafruit version of the Arduino IDE from the Introduction to GEMMA guide.
Code developed by Phillip Burgress.
The Arduino code presented below works well on Gemma v2 and Trinket Mini.. But if you have an M0 board you must use the CircuitPython code on the next page of this guide, no Arduino IDE required!
