The Factory | Huge MicroPython Speed-Up With WS2812 LEDs

Use MicroPython decorators to drastically improve the speed of your scripts. In this episode of #TheFactory we double the speed of our GlowBit WS2812 matrix with "Viper" - an experimental MicroPython feature. We also fill you in on production news and show off some shots of our new machines in action.
