    OctoWS2811 and Threading

    Hi, The problem is evident even when delay() is not used. With the delay() used it just highlights the problem. To eliminate delay() as being part of the issue I have tried using the "blink without delay method of adding delay to the function. The random flashing still occurred. The problem...
