"""Demonstrate background writing with NeoPixels
The NeoPixelBackground class defined here is largely compatible with the
standard NeoPixel class, except that the ``show()`` method returns immediately,
writing data to the LEDs in the background, and setting `auto_write` to true
causes the data to be continuously sent to the LEDs all the time.
Writing the LED data in the background will allow more time for your
Python code to run, so it may be possible to slightly increase the refresh
rate of your LEDs or do more complicated processing.
Because the pixelbuf storage is also being written out 'live', it is possible
(even with auto-show 'false') to experience tearing, where the LEDs are a
combination of old and new values at the same time.
The demonstration code, under ``if __name__ == '__main__':`` is intended
for the Adafruit MacroPad, with 12 NeoPixel LEDs. It shows a cycling rainbow
pattern across all the LEDs.
