Feature Request

LED support in the LCD.

So i got it to work. Problem is now that there is no LCD control for it . But marlin code is working. I use a WS2812B Strip.

And i use on the wanhao plus pin 32. And its working nice And look verry nice. If you want i can make a smal tutorial. I must say after done this i can see the prints in the dark. And i now why the .... do you want LED. Its 2019 and i mis that. Also i am working on a runout filament sensor

How many LEDs do you have? If I read well, the power consumption is high (9 watts for 30 LEDs). Where do you take the power?

Sorry just finnist my work. Ill post my results. But i have 62 led and a LM2596 ( https://www.banggood.com/LM2596-DC-DC-Verstellbar-Step-Down-Schaltregler-Power-Supply-Module-p-88252.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN ) Also i use this case inside the bothem case whare the power suply is. ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1625233 )

So i take the 24V from the power supply. Because in the i3 Plus there is one rail available to the LM2596.

And these are Neopixel LED. And the mod is Easy also like the BLTOUCH

@cobramike I intend to add filament runout sensor, Do you mind sharing the wiring photo? I already have soldered pins (for BLtouch). All of them are free except 1 (i.e. 40). Since GND is already used, how did you wire them?
Second is - what changes you made to the Marlin code, I assume you added FIL_RUNOUT_PIN in the pins_I3_PLUS.h, can you please confirm.
Thanks
