Hi Pirates,

I’m currently building a couple of Tiny 4WD rovers for my upcoming Pi Jam. So far it’s all working great, I have a Zero W with an Explorer pHat and Lipo Shim snuggled together on an extended header and for fun, I want to stack a Blinkt on top, so the two bots can have colour coded Larson Scanners running.

Physically, they all fit, but looking at pinout.xyz both Explorer Phat and Blinkt use BCM 23 and 24. which I think is making them incompatible (certainly, Blinkt examples aren’t currently working). Is there any kind of way I can tell the Blinkt to use different pins or remove the conflict?

Python noob here, so please take it easy on me.

Thanks!
