    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Oh man, you can't believe how happy I am right now. It's working, working like a charm - even with the prop shield running and all the animations and the sound synthesis. Thank you sooo much, honestly, I can't even believe that it's all working right now :D You are such a cool guy and a genius...

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Would be nice! :) shouldn't be too much of a problem, I will be (and I think many others too) very happy if the library runs stable with all sorts of ws2812b strips. I friend told me there are two versions with an identical datasheet but a different protocol and one can't instantly see which...

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Normal minimal voltage drop, even connected the end to power source, no difference. Even with just 5 LEDs the rainbow effect appears. I edited the code to FastLed and everything is fine, I thought myself it could be a power issue, but now I think it's not. I'm not familiar with DMA...

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Sadly not, well, yes, another timing structure. I made two videos: Standard: https://youtu.be/XjL_rI_8seU Less: https://youtu.be/570xAK3hepg Code, other than less intense, is untouched. However, I need to admit, it's truly beautiful :D

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Wow, thanks Paul :) Was very excited testing it, unfortunatelly the BasicTest shows Rainbow colors fading from beginning to end, after 3 to 4 rainbows, the desired code runs through, lighting up the leds in the specified color. When orange is reached, it begins with some crazy rainbows again...

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Oh wow, that would be awesome! Thanks :) The essential of all sine waves are their amplitude and their frequency, I'd say even the amplitude is more important on the lightsaber. I used Audacity to make a fft (or in later versions I guess it's called spectrum) and took the 14 first peaks...

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Is it possible to modify the Octo lib so it just outputs at pin 7? I commented out the other pins, but that didnt change anything. For the rest of the librarys code, I'm not familiar enough with registers, DMA and the bitshifting stuff.

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Thank you both very much :) Paul, I now use the OctoWS2811 library, but as soon as show() is called, the audio stops at all. Did I do something wrong? EDIT: Ok it's the pin layout as I read from other threads. Might need to make some adjustments

    FastLed vs Neopixel vs Audio library - CPU overload?

    Hey there! I try to point out my problem short - I have a ws2812b neopixel led strip with 144 led / m. I want to let them flicker and do some animations. Working great on pin 7 of the teensy 3.2. I also have the prop shield generating some sine waves mixed together based on gyro data. (and yes...
