Having issue controlling the proper colors of these RGBW LED sticks from Adafruit.

I have two sticks wired together for a total of 16 LEDs running off an Arduino ItsyBitsy.

I have confirmed with the StrandTest that all the pixels power and show all colors properly.

When I load the NeoPixel.h file onto the Arduino and load up SimHub Sketch, there is no option for RGBW control.

I also have to tell SimHub that I have 21 LEDS in order to get all 16 to function for shift lights, yellow flags, etc.

 

What do I need to do to program either the Arduino or SimHub to run these RGBW LEDs properly?

Hi ! Currently RGBW is not supported as it has no particular usage for the purpose, there is no data to be used for the white channel, I exclusively work in RGB mode. RGBW has interest for ambient lightning where you can do proper white or color lighting, but white is almost the only color you never see in dashboards.
