Adafruit is kind of scary about controlling their new "Neopixel" 60-led strip due to stringent timing rqts. they write
"to get high density, the controller chip is inside the LED, which is kind of cool, but also means that the chip only uses a single pin for input and a single pin for output. The protocol used is very very timing-specific and can only be controlled by microcontrollers with highly repeatable 100nS timing precision. We have example code for using with the Arduino Uno/Mega microcontroller at 8MHz and 16MHz, but it will not work with the Raspberry Pi, Basic Stamp, NETduino, any other interpreted/virtual machine microprocessor or any processor slower than 8 MHz."
The above is from this page http://adafruit.com/products/1138
So is this controllable using the Teensy 3.0? Seems to me it should be possible to avoid timing problems by masking interrupts. Suggestions?
thanks in advance.
