Python • SK6812RGBW or WS2812 support for RPi5?

Hi there,

has anyone played around with PIOLib, like in the example from
https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/piolib ... o-control/
?

The thing is, that I would like to "easily" turn on LEDs on my SK6812RGBW/WS2812 LED strips.
From what I have experienced (after hours of trying alternative approaches I found my self in Python environment hell) is, that currently it is not possible like on the Pico or Arduino.

Question:
Is there a working approach for the mentioned LED strips on a Raspberry Pi5?
If so, what would be the steps to get an example running?

Thanks in advance!!
