The pd_led_boards: section of your config is where you configure your
PD-LED boards connected to your
P-Roc or P3-Roc. See Servos on a PD-LED (P-ROC/P3-ROC), Steppers on a PD-LED (P-ROC/P3-ROC) or How to configure LEDs on the PD-LED (P-ROC/P3-ROC) for details.
Optional settings
The following sections are optional in the pd_led_boards: section of
your config. (If you don't include them, the default will be used).
lpd880x_0_first_address:
