Description

When trying to run this using Hardware SPI (SCK and MOSI), it doesn't appear to be working at all as in none of the lights do anything. I was able to run just fine on the Raspberry Pi using Hardware SPI.

Research direction

Reproduce the WS2801 driver on a Feather M4 using hardware SPI with the reported SCK and MOSI wiring, then compare the setup with the working Raspberry Pi case. The payload names no source file or test; done would require identifying why the Feather M4 produces no light output and verifying a working hardware-SPI configuration.
