    Combining Octows2811 shield and the audio shield

    Cheers for the details GremlinWrangler =) The project worked fine, I used only a single channel in through the line in pins. All 393 pixels were wired as a single strand in the end, my other fixtures were located further than though so were run off a seperate controller. Due to weather had to...

    A (mostly) working demo of OctoWS2811 + audio adapter

    Nice work =) I had a problem where it wouldnt take audio in, but that was because I left some pins connected between the octo board and audio, so after those were snipped it was fine. *edit*just read your reply.... but for others! Im using the fastLED library and some patterns from...

    Cat6 is wired opposite? OctoWs2811 wiring

    Cat6 is wired opposite? OctoWs2811 wiring

    Heya... First of all, many many many thanks to Paul and all contributors, making this so accessible, both in required skills and cost, much kudos =) Interesting, I found my lights not working at all, after shortening the cable and having it work without the 74HCT245 shield, I checked my cat6...
