do you think it would be possible to adapt the OctoWS2811 to use a larger amount of TLC5940 led drivers at 30fps or more?

i guess i really like the video processing library that works with it.

thx.

I ported Tlc5940 this weekend. Here's the source code:

I've updated the web page with pin connection info for Teensy 3.x.

If you're still watching this old thread and still interested in using a TLC5940 chip with Teensy 3.0 or 3.1, I hope you'll give it a try. I tested here with 1 TLC5940 chip and 16 LEDs. It seems to be working well, but I didn't have time to exhaustively test the many special features of this library.

The special (slow) servo mode doesn't work on Teensy 3.1 or 3.0 or even Teensy 2.0 (it's never worked). To control a very large number of servo motors, I'd recommend the PulsePosition library, or Adafruit's servo control board.
