Can I combine Teensy 3.2, Octows2811 adapter and Huzzah CC3000?

[harald25]

I want to wirelessly controll an LED installation I have at home. I'm using a Teensy 3.2 and Octows2811 adapter.
I've been looking at the pinout for octo and cc3000 and they seem to use some of the same pins.
At first I though, hey no problem, I can just change what pins the cc3000 is using. But I think, for example, the octo uses both of the SPI DIN pins on the teensy?

Does anyone have any tips for me?

Main clash appears to be frame sync so in theory if the plan is to use a single Teensy you could mod the library to remove the useage of pin 12 and free it up for use on SPI. Not aware of any method to achieve that without going into the library and doing ctrl-f though. Helps at least that frame sync doesn't connect to anything on the adaptor board so no mechanical changes should be required.

Yes, the plan is to use a single teensy.
I'll see if I manage to reverse engineer the code and get it working

Thanks for the tip!

Only one of the OctoWS2811 examples uses pin 12, and it's easy to reassign it, or just delete that code since you only have 1 board.
