Hi -

I have been using the Pybadge for some projects and I ran into some issues using the NeoPixel strip. I used John Parks code [PyGamer NeoPixel Code](https://learn.adafruit.com/pygamer-neopixel-controller), but the strip will not turn on and I am at lost.

I also wonder if it would be possible to use a microphone [PyBadge Tensor Flow Mircophone](https://learn.adafruit.com/pybadge-case-with-flip-out-mic) to detect sound using the PyBadge and Makecode Arcade.

I appreciate any help I can get and if this is the best place to post these questions.

Cheers!
