I am trying to let my daughter program lights in her room. I have the Adafruit Metro Express and the Circuit Playground Express. When I use the Playground Express there are additional neopixel related blocks under the Lights block when I am using MakeCode on the Metro Express there are not. How do I get them?

These blocks of tools look similar to me. Is this not what you are seeing?

Yes, thanks. Don’t know why I wasn’t seeing them earlier.
