OctoWS2811 command reference

[sinzad]

Hi I'm just starting out with the Teensy and the OctoWS2811 library.
Is there somewhere or a method of finding a list of commands this library provides?


Cheers
Sina

Thanks for your quick reply nlecaude,
but I found makeColor(hue, saturation, brightness) in the rainbow example, is this an OctoWS2811 command?
If so how is it possible to know the functions in this or a library in general?

makeColor is simply part of the rainbow example.

Well, you could read the web page. Scroll down to "Basic Usage", where the library functions are documented.

If you don't believe the documentation, you could read the file OctoWS2811.h. Simply look at the functions defined in the "public" section. You'll see there are a couple other little functions not mentioned in the documentation, but they're really trivial stuff.

or a library in general?

In general, read the source code!

Thank you, great to know about the OctoWS2811.h file.
