    TFTP Bootloader, update firmware over ethernet?

    I too would like to load code into the Teensy via network (ethernet). The reason being that my teensy-based project is now 10 feet in the air inside an enclosure, two teensys which I communicate with via a wifi router that's also 10 feet in the air. So it's become fairly inconvenient... Since...

    Socket for physical stacking of three boards (OctoWS2811 + Teensy3.1 + Wiz820/SD

    Thanks.. I see.. the double sided headers from adafruit could do it. It's not exactly what I want but I'll order some and see how it all fits. Here's what I have now.. as I said, it works.. I am just concerned about the length of the pins in relation to the socket...

    Socket for physical stacking of three boards (OctoWS2811 + Teensy3.1 + Wiz820/SD

    Hi... So I have a setup with these this stack of boards: OctoWS2811 on bottom, Teensy3.1 in the middle, Wiz820+SD on top (and then the actual WIZ820 module on top of that). Electrically, this all works great so far.. my question is about the actual physical pins and sockets to use. I used the...

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    I have to run out right now, but if you tell me how many pixels are in each neopixel ring, and how you want the channels mapped, I'll write you some code tomorrow to replace that second loop.

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    The code you're interested in modifying starts at line 66... https://github.com/natcl/Artnet/blob/master/examples/ArtnetOctoWS2811/ArtnetOctoWS2811.ino#L66 Now.. ok, I have to say this code seems more complicated than it needs to be.. there are two loops.. the first loop copies the DMX values...

    Just tweaked OctoWS2811 library to drive 16 channels plus gamma correct and dithering

    Very cool stuff.. you've clearly put a lot of work into it :) I've gone over your code a bunch and see now how it all works... I got my hardware and wrote a little code to do Artnet to WS2811 and right away saw the need for what you're doing. I put in an 8 bit log curve (no dithering, so I'm...

    Just tweaked OctoWS2811 library to drive 16 channels plus gamma correct and dithering

    Cool I see what you're doing. The project I'm doing right now is only 14 pixels per string, 10-14 strings, so I could easily have them all on one output if I were to chain them. I want more outputs because the physical layout of the strings isn't friendly to chaining them. So I didn't worry...

    Just tweaked OctoWS2811 library to drive 16 channels plus gamma correct and dithering

    Yea I understand the burning man rush.. been there a bunch of times. Not this year tho... I do have a late Sept deadline for my project though. I figure I'll get my first 8 outputs going and get things solid, then work on additional outputs. My idea for simple multiplexing was to get 14...

    Just tweaked OctoWS2811 library to drive 16 channels plus gamma correct and dithering

    Fantastic DrTune, much thanks. Just getting into using the Teensy 3.1 to drive WS2811 pixels.. hardware on the way but meanwhile working out the software, and was trying to work out how to get more outputs. I had been thinking more along the lines of multiplexing the I/O pins to get more...

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    Thanks again, that's using exactly what I didn't know about the DMA but I was hoping to figure out :) I see in other peoples projects that they are driving the WS2811 directly from the Teensy output but I want to run more distance from the controller to the first pixel than I see them running...

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    Ok so I looked at ways to increase the number of output lines.. I think I understand the OctoWS2811 library now.. the three DMA channels are set up initially to drive 8 pins on one GPIO and then just run in the background on a hardware interrupt from the PWM. There's no user code that's...

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    Thanks! The reason I'm not chaining them is because each of my pixel chains hangs down with the ends free, so the bottom ends can't be connected to anything. All the power and signal comes from the top. The cables connecting everything together are pre-made so even if the length restrictions...

    Artnet to OctoWS2811?

    Hi guys.. Fantastic that there's discussion already on the exact thing that got me interested in the Teensy :) A quick question for you: I'm about to buy the hardware to implement this: octoWS2811, wiz820io adapter, wiz820 ethernet, Teensy3.1.. but first I checked all the pins to see if...
