Andúril light with true rgb? (lemmy.zip)

Is there an andúril light with actual rgb aux lights instead of the resistor ones or the single colour ones? If no, is it even possible with the microchip they use? I know its a pretty limited chip.

I don't really know much about neopixels, what do they need in terms of control, does it have to be a constant signal or can they just stay in a mode until another mode is set? How many MCU pins do they need?

They need one pin for all neopixels. You can daisy chain them. You have to start sending the colours in order from last to first neopixel. Only problem is that it needs to be precise but idk how precise.
