This is a collection of NeoPixel led templates for Klipper firmware. It uses the array of leds as a progress bar for different printer actions. The refresh rate is faster than delayed_gcode.
The template of NeoPixel is changed by a macro. This is very handy in case you want to change the template during start macro or during a print. For example in the start macro you could set the template for temperature during preheat and then change to the template for print progress or printer speed for the same NeoPixel.

Assuming you have a working NeoPixel led
[neopixel my_led] pin: PB9 chain_count: 32 -
Download / clone led_progress.cfg to your klipper_config folder
-
Include this file in your printer.cfg
[include led_progress.cfg]
NEOPIXEL_DISPLAY LED="led_name" TYPE=template_type MODE=template_mode
Your led name from neopixel cfg section
extruder_temp extruder temperature relative to target temperature (if is set) or to maxim temperature
bed_temp bed temperature relative to target temperature (if is set) or to maxim temperature
print_percent progress of current print
printer_speed current speed relative to maximum printer speed
glow all leds will fade from one color (or non) to an other color
progress the leds will light up one by one
You can combine any TYPE with any MODE.
