Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to use the VideoDisplay and movie2serial program on a LED Wall I built that is 64x35 using ws2812B strips and two teensy 3.2's. I have 4 panels of 16x35 at 140 LEDs per strip. Right now I'm using Jinx! software and everything works great but I wanted to...

Thanks for all the comments. I am receiving this power supply today. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mean-Well/LRS-350-5/?qs=%2fha2pyFadujHznX5xjGNP5ZYWysNUZrbOc%252bgURuy5Q5XZSZIqCo47Q%3d%3d I will post my results when I test it out. Reason I was asking those questions is because I was...

Sorry.. Can anyone give some insight on my questions above? Thanks.

Couple more questions... 1. I'm running a total of 35 WS2812B LEDs per row horizontally and powering/grounding each strip at one end, should that be sufficient enough power delivery? 2. I'll need about 40 rows so whats the most efficient way you guys are connecting all those wires to the Power...

Yeah... You're absolutely correct. That worked! 😀 ... Not there yet though... Time to deal with this unbelievable amount of flicker. 😡 Thanks for your help as always Paul.

I changed the sketch to 245 leds per strip, removed data line #2 and daisy chained data line #1 in that spot. I get the 245 leds to work as i suspected... it just won't use any of the other data lines after #1 for some reason.

This looks to me that if pixel index > ledsperstrip it's not setting a pixel color ? if (pixelIndex < ledsPerStrip) { leds.setPixel(pixelIndex++, pixelColor); }

I posted this in one of my other threads but it didn't really fit. I'm using Teensy 3.2 and the octo Adapter for a Led Matrix project that will be 35x40 (1400 LEDs) As of right now I have 35x7 (245 leds) hooked up for testing. I'm using 210 leds per strip, so i have the first 6 rows hooked...

Thanks. I will test that and post the updates. Until then, I have another issue i was trying to solve first.... I'm having an issue with some code. Right now I have 35x7 (245 leds) hooked up for testing. I'm using 210 leds per strip, so i have the first 6 rows hooked up to Led Strip #1...

Hello, I am using Pixelcontoller w/Teensy 3.2 and the Octows2811 Board for a Matrix of 35X40 (1,400 LEDs). I am not powering the Teensy with an external supply but just via the USB. On the first strip of 35 2812B pixels I have the orange wire going to the data in and the Orange/white going to...

Hello All, I'm basically putting together a breakout board for my LED Matrix. I'm in the design process using Eagle and using only SMD parts. (2x14 Female headers for the Teensy 3.1, 1x2 wire to board power terminal, 1x8 led strip output wire to board terminal, 1x20 ic socket for HCT245N and...

So far so good! Thanks to Paul and the great Octo Library my DJ LED Facade Is coming along. after a couple of days tweaking the code for the PixelController Software I got it working. Here's some sample animations from the program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TOTECLPMew

Yep... that did it.. no flicker! Thanks Paul!

Good News is Making those connections suggested by tetsuo got rid of all my noise problems thanks! Bad news is the octows2811 library is still flickering. Here is a video with the Adafruit library with no flicker issues at all. >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up1_gSocYS4 Here is another...

Thanks, I'm going to make those changes tonight. I'll post back.

I'm sorry PIN 20 is VCC which is connected to +5v. Do I connect 5v to both? Never mind , I'm going to try +5v on pin 1 and GND On pin 10 when I get home. I think that's what you mean.

I know it's not pictured but the power lines are going from the supply straight to the LEDs. I do have a question though, I'm going to have 15 x 40 matrix and was going to power them every 4th strip which is 1m. Is that ok? And should I do the same with the GND? Thanks!

Pin 19 is Vcc which is connected to Pin 1 internally, why would I need 5v on the DIR PIN also. I'm getting +5v on the output pins of the 245 with the current placement. Thanks

I tried basically everything also. I took the latest Adafruit Neopixel library and uploaded it to the teensy 3.1 and all the strand tests are flicker free not changing anything with the above setup. I must add though I do get some noise on the data line because randomly I get speratic pixels. I...

Hello, I have begun working on a project using the Octows2811 Library and Adafruit Neopixels . I'm a noob with leds but not basic circuitry, as far as I can tell I followed Paul's instructions for the Octows2811 Library. I was testing my strip out with BasicTest sketch, setting only the...

Thank you Paul!

Hello All, I just purchased the Teensy 3.1 board and I am having trouble compiling some code that I will be using to create a WS2801 based LED Matrix. The code is verified to work with the Teensy 3.0 and used with Glediator Matrix Software. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW1Hkad2Zys...
