[Question] Is there a specific reason why to not support leds like SK6812/b? about simhub HOT 3 CLOSED

It seems that reinstalling Simhub downgrading to 9.1.12 (I think that was the version) made this work. Unsure if any custom arduino code was left behind. I can blame that for now and will retest against latest version as soon as I get some spare time.

Hi ! In theory the LEDs code has not been changed for a very long time. Probably the last time around 3 or 4 years ago (6.x simhub versions probably)

The SK6812 if I'm not wrong are rgbw. All effects in simhub are RGB. Rgbw finds applications in ambiant lightings but I see no real possibility to include a white component in all whole effects chain without introducing excessive complexity, that's why adding support for such LEDs would be misleading (with no white channel control, it would not be really used) so I prefer not to add it and stay on well known RGB ws2812 RGB LEDs.

Sure, no problem with excluding white component at all. I had tested cable, pro micro board, solder joints, etc, but the problem seemed to be Simhub instance, which may have some custom arduino code I've done some time ago that could be impacting led config.
In any case, thanks for answering and keep up with the amazing work you do here!
