 ws2812 is a library to handle ws2812-like led strips.
 It works at least on WS2812, WS2812b, APA104, SK6812 (RGB or RGBW).

 - `pin` IO index, see [GPIO Overview](gpio.md#gpio-overview)
 - `data` payload to be sent to one or more WS2812 like leds through GPIO2
 
+Optional elements are:

+- `reset` duration of the reset signal in multiples of 100ns. A duration of 0 generates no reset. The minimum possible value is 0. The maximum is 65534. The default value is 500 which generates a reset of 50us.
+- `t0h` duration of the high period for a 0 code in multiples of 100ns. The minimum possible value is 1. The maximum is 32767. The default value is 4 which results in a high period of 400ns for each 0 code.
+- `t0l` duration of the low period for a 0 code in multiples of 100ns. The minimum possible value is 1. The maximum is 32767. The default value is 7 which results in a low period of 700ns for each 0 code.
+- `t1h` duration of the high period for a 1 code in multiples of 100ns. The minimum possible value is 1. The maximum is 32767. The default value is 8 which results in a high period of 800ns for each 1 code.
+- `t1l` duration of the low period for a 1 code in multiples of 100ns. The minimum possible value is 1. The maximum is 32767. The default value is 6 which results in a low period of 600ns for each 1 code.

 # Buffer module
 For more advanced animations, it is useful to keep a "framebuffer" of the strip,
 interact with it and flush it to the strip.
