Okay. I will grab an FTDI cable today. Do I need a 3.3v or a 5v cable? Actually I guess it doesn't matter since the power will be coming through power connected to the teensy. But I'll probably want 3.3v for flashing other add-ons that I haven't already soldered onto things. hahaha. Thanks for...

defragster, onehorse suggested that you might be able to help me with this. not aware that i needed to flash the add on board that was sent to me, i've soldered it to a teensy. is it possible to flash the esp8266 via USB in the arduino IDE while it's connected to the arduino? or using some...

I'm trying out one of onehorse's units and just sends test, test, test, test back to teensy. doesn't seem to want to respond to commands.

Ah, okay. That's going to take some soldering wizardry to get that on there now as I've soldered it to the bottom of the teensy. Oh well. Another Q, The esp8266 just seems to be sending back test, test, test, test every 500 milliseconds or so. It doesn't seem to want to take any commands...

What do I connect an antenna to with an r05f board of yours onehorse?

here's what it look like with the fur on running with that rainbow palette. i'll post the code to generate four more awesome palettes shortly. ;)

does anyone think I would get even faster speeds if I switched from OctoWS2811 to FastSPI instead? I'm only using one strand but the OctoWS2811 is the only one I've been able to get working...

oh, but i just tried that and wow that did make quite a difference. holy shit balls. we're up to around 20 - 24 fps now i think. here's the updated function. SO FAST! Thanks KurtE! float plasmaT = 0.0; void loop() { plasma(); } void plasma() { int pixelPosition; float c; float...

i'm a looking at your results correctly: sin(double) takes ~ 10000us vs sinf(float) taking ~ 180000us i think i'll go with the speed over the precision.

you should have seen it when i had ALL those variables as floats. it was quite chunky. maybe 5fps. i just tried changing that last float variable to a double and i think i gained a couple extra fps. ;) it's still not as blazing as i would like though. the rainbow effect i'm using is very speedy...

if anyone has any nifty little graphic functions that i can add to this i would love to see them. i also have a nice little rainbow effect that shifts around the x and y axis over time. it looks a lot like a plasma with straight lines.

by the way my plasma is running at about 15fps. still too slow for me. i'm using a teensy 3.1. i use an array for the grid to lookup which lights to draw: const int paletteLength = 256; int rainbowColors[paletteLength]; const int gridLookup[gridPixels] = { -1, -1, 47, 48, 85, -1...

haha! i'm doing the exact same thing after seeing the exact same guy last year at burning man! here's his facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fflightingreno and i'm having this exact same problem with the teensy! it's really slow at calculating plasma functions. hilarious!!! i have 465 lights...
