However, it lacks the integration with bibliopixel and doesn't work nearly as nicely with python out-of-the-box as your implementation does with the adafruit hat.\r\n\r\nIt appears to be a fairly trivial change to update to the newer library (one I'll admit I don't have the technical chops to preform, nor to evaluate for difficulty) which would breathe new life into a hardware product you've been offering for some time that requires only a minor kit change (adding a jumper from pins 4-18) and improve the customer experience with these panels and the adafruit hat substantially. \r\n\r\nDo you have any plans to update this fork?
