First of all sorry, but I'm a somewhat newbie to Teensy and unfortunately I don't know much about programming it either.
I built myself a pretty large LED Display in our living room (sunk invisibly into the wall). Here is a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpbJ6QXxt9k
It consists of 1056 (22x48) WS2801 LEDs.
I'm running it with Glediator (solderlab.de) through an Arduino Mega but I'm not satisfied with the frame rates. With fast moving images it becomes very jiggly and the frame rate drops to about 3-5FPS. (See:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJgDDpZQy7k and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5jw2YdJiAM).
So I bought a Teensy3.1 in hopes that it will be faster but I just can't get it to run with the Arduino Mega sketch.
(This is the original sketch for the Arduino Mega: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwcEBbPY7cRIS1FkVXppdzZyanc/edit?usp=sharing)
That's when I stumbled about that Sketch: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwcEBbPY7cRIV3hwaWFzMDRMdmc/edit?usp=sharing
Supposedly this was working with Teensy3.0 und Glediator but when I contacted the author I was told that he never really got it to work properly, even von Tensy 3.0 and never finished the project.
So I just gave it a try and uploaded it to the teensy3.1 and was buffed: it's incredibly fast/smooth BUT unfortunately it has some problems too. The last 150 or LEDs in my string are just blinking uncontrollable and here and there some LEDs are flashing all over the place. I contacted the author and he told me that he never really got it to work properly, even von Tensy 3.0 and never finished the project.
Does anybody have any clue how I could get this to run properply on Teensy3.1?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks alot,
Ryan
