Hello,
I was just testing a 60 Led Ws2811 strip and the power doesn't seem consistent and I wonder why...
I'm using a 10A bench power supply set at 5v.
I made a very simple sketch with octows2811 to display red, green and white colours on the whole strip.
When I set the strip to white I see a consumption of 1.82 amps
If I set the colours individually I get this:
Red: 0,99a
Green: 0,85a
Blue: 0,87a
This adds up to 2,71....
I would expect white to be near that value... What could make the strip consume less power when I display white ?
Thanks.
Nat
