NeoPixel LED Fidget Game

Here’s a fun NeoPixel LED project that uses the ANO rotary encoder (iPod classic-like scroll wheel). It’s got two modes, one for fidgeting and the other, an LED chase game. In fidget mode, you can scroll the wheel to move a single lit NeoPixel along the 24 NeoPixel ring. The four directional buttons can change the color of the LED and the center button lights up the whole ring. It’s powered by a Feather RP2040 and CircuitPython. All of the electronics are housed in a snap fit 3D printed enclosure.
