    pixel strips for POV with 30-40 leds?

    Did LPD6803 work out well? Can you tell me what you wound up going with if you don't mind sharing? I'm also trying to find something that will allow density. If anything, we'll choose soldering something to get it dense though obviously that's not preferable. Thanks! Iain

    pixel strips for POV with 30-40 leds?

    Thanks Paul. Have you heard whether WS2801s are fast enough? I don't mind the expense so much as the building hassle, so am trying to find something that won't be too hard to attach on a stick with them close together. Iain

    pixel strips for POV with 30-40 leds?

    Hi folks, I first asked about this about a year ago here, but then we went and built the other half of the show first. Now back to making POV pixel poi. I'll order some teensy 3 chips, but am wondering if anyone has positive experiences doing POV with strips of pixels, and if so, which pixel...

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    Would it make a difference if our POV movement is not all that fast? We're trying to make home brewed pixel poi, so I imagine we'll have them moving one circle every 0.5s, with the image being drawn twice in a circle.

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    Ah, grr, that's a real disappointment, the strips looked like they were going to make this easy-peasy. Do you know if the WS2812 is the same? I guess it's worth giving it a shot anyway as I have the strips. What would you recommend for getting a line of 40-48 RGB leds going for a POV display...

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    Thanks for the detailed answer Paul. Unfortunately I did a terrible job of asking the question, I thought I'd mentioned in the first post that it was a POV project, but I hadn't. oops, sorry! So there are only 48 pixels on at once, and the 96 is the number of frames I'm trying to draw by...

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    I imagine each image will be about 48 x 96 rgb pixels, for what that's worth. thanks!

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    Awesome, thanks! I'm assuming Paul's library would be the best if fast updates are required? iain

    using teensy 3 with neo pixel strips from adafruit?

    I'm guessing that the video is just keeping brand names off the web, but I wanted to verify before ordering a teensy 3 that it would be good for driving the adafruit neo pixel strips with the library that Paul has posted. thanks! Iain strip: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1506

    Why would I want a teensy 2 instead of 3?

    Hi, about to order my first teensy, is there any reason one would prefer a 2 or 2++ to a 3? In my case it's for a POV project that will drive about 144 leds off a battery in a very small form factor. thanks! Iain
