Hi Forum.
I am using the OctoWs2811 library on a teensy 3.1 with the Octo Adaptor to control 8 line of each 36 x WS2811 RGB drivers. I do not have LED strips but rather use the RGB-Driver IC.
I am sending either 255 or 0 for each RGB channel per LED-driver to turn 24VAC devices on or off.
Everything works but not all RGB channels (the attached 3 device) come on consistently. I also attached a AC led to make sure my TRIAC to provide power. The LED work consistently.
I know people will say now, well it's your AC circuit or AC device, but if i send an all on signal to all s2811 chips then they all come on without delay.
I also tried to attach a zero crossing circuit to only send led.show() on a zero crossing, which did not help either.
Setting the library to WS2811_400kHz turns all circuits on right a way but i can't control the s2811 after that.
Nonetheless it feels like that maybe something can be done on the firmware side to fix my problem.
Those AC device that do not react right away do come on after a few ms, and it feels like they come on with the same delay. it is very rhythmic?
thanks,
stephan.
