Hi all,
I have a Teensy 3.0 and I've been experimenting with the OctoWS2811 library. My goal is to build larger rgb LED applications that play videos, and I want to stream video using the smallest/least amount of components. Basically anything extremely small that isn't a laptop. Perhaps an SD card read could store the videos and the Teensy can read it off the SD card. I'm confused at this point and not sure which way to go. Does anyone have any recommendations? Perhaps someone has gone down this road before and I don't have to start from first principles. I have heard wonderful and terrible things about Raspberry Pi, and the Beagle Bone Black is so new I'm not sure if it would work, and maybe there is a board or solution out there I'm unfamiliar with that would work even better.
Another question is, do I need to use the processing movie2serial program on one of these small computers, or is there another way to stream the video in a way the Teensy can understand? The whole streaming video part is a bit fuzzy for me and I am trying to understand it better. What format does the Teensy need to see? If there is already a thread on this please feel free to post a link. Thank you.
