+// Configure TIM3 in PWM mode, and start DMA Transfer(s) to send color data into ws2812.
+// We assume the DIN pin of ws2812 connect to GPIO PB4, and ws2812 is properly powered.
+//
+// This demo is a combination of HAL, PAC, and manually invoke `dma::Transfer`
+//
+// Warning:
+// DO NOT stare at ws2812 directy (especially after each MCU Reset), its (max) brightness could easily make your eyes feel burn.
