Hello friend, for a brief presentation of me, I'm from Brazil, working with LEDs for a few years and lights for shows.

Every year we build Christmas trees, this year we want to make a christmas tree with LEDs ws2812 controller for ethernet ... for this I started to study a little on the internet and a friend recommended this forum.

I found this forum fantastico, has many new projects very beautiful, but the difference of languages disturbs me a lot, I am Brazilian I speak Portuguese, and I am not good in English, so I have a certain difficulty in finding the ways to elaborate a legal circuit to control the LEDs.

I was following a project with teensy, but I had problems finding the circuit to connect the wires on the ethernet network card etc ...

So this is my request for help, if anyone has any complete project and want to share with me about control of teensy leds or boards esp8266 please share with me ... below I'll post a photo of the boards that I have and also the link that I was trying to...

thank you all. WhatsApp Image 2018-10-25 at 17.09.29 (1).jpeg

There are 4 libraries you can use to control the LEDs.

WS2812Serial
OctoWS2811
FastLED
Adafruit_Neopixel

The first 2 are non-blocking, so best to use those. WS2812Serial is best for a small number of LEDs, under 600 to 1000. OctoWS2811 works best for a large number of LEDs, like 1000 to 5000.

Thank you for your comment, dear Paul.
I forgot to comment that I'm not a programmer, I just know the basics, so I'm looking for some project that is already in progress or ready or almost ready ... I've studied the libraries a bit, but I do not know how to implement them, I intend to make some model that can control up to 8000 leds, maybe for the tree. I have the teensy and enc28j60 or Ethernet Shield W5100 for network is this good?
 
For a project that's complete or almost complete, maybe look through the blog where we post a project every other day.

Or look at the ones on the forum (many have not yet been posted to the blog).

As far as help goes, Teensy is about DIY electronics. We can usually give you help if you are doing the project and get stuck on a technical detail. We can also give you advice about how you might approach the project, if you explain enough about your goal that we can clearly understand. Everyone starts as a beginner and usually these sorts of projects involve quite a bit of learning as you go. There too, if you have a question, we can usually answer. But especially when you're a beginner, just asking a narrowly focused tech question rarely help. You need to actually explain what you're trying to accomplish. We're real humans here and we can help much more if we understand and have a clear picture of your intentions.

But "help" doesn't usually include doing the project for you. That the whole point of DIY, you Do It Yourself.

Hello Paul, Thanks for your prompt reply, I did not ask you to do the project for me, I just asked if someone already has the project ready, after all I do not need to do something that is already ready, as I said I do not know how to program, I I just know the basics and this is sad, so I depend a lot on more complete help ... my use is nothing sophisticated is just pixel control by artnet.

I am already testing some codes that I found others donated by friends, but as I am a lay person in programming I face some difficulties.
 
My main problem in a code is to replace the W5100 with Enc28j60. because I am from Brazil, some components are difficult to find here, besides the programming language is in English and I speak Portuguese, so this is a little harder to learn quickly ... people apologize if I...

about the program I am using of this project .. which is called MegaPixel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO5ZvEu6pyM&feature=youtu.be https://github.com/mrrees/MegaPixel...syyjdahxyGyQEpFNcIA0F8EvzZfMbDAGCmQH7XJkI2cf0


what i want to do after all is to use teensy to control the led boards i made with ws2812 tape (pictured below) WhatsApp Image 2018-10-29 at 15.13.37.jpeg

Ok, you wish to use artnet. That's new information. Can you see how nobody could have guessed you use software with artnet from the first messages? You can get better help when you actually give us more info about what you want to accomplish.

To buy something ready-to-go for artnet, maybe this?

http://megapixel.lighting/products.html

Or perhaps with the DIY route you could program your Teensy with the artnet example. In Arduino, click File > Examples > OctoWS2811 > Artnet to open it.
 
Certain friend Paul, now I understand, for me this is clear to my purpose, but I did not realize that I did not explain to you well ... I'm going to do some tests with your suggestions, I'm very grateful for your help .. In that I can help you, I'll be there, just ask. See you.
