Hi,
I am building a bigger and badder version of a holiday display, and with as many RGB LEDs as I expect to use I am trying to use Teensy 3.6 + OctoWS2811. I have the Teensy working, the OctoWS2811 connected, a few LED strands connected to the Ethernet cables, and the LEDs powered by a powerful enough power supply. The LED strands are good, when I use the Neopixel strandtest on the Teensy (minus OctoWS2811) they light properly.
All seems wired well, and just to test things I am lighting up 20 or so LEDs. But, when I run the included basic test code (File > Examples > OctoWS2811 > BasicTest, running as is, no changes other than changing number of LEDs) all doesn't work well, pink and yellow light up, red flashes all sorts of colors, some LEDs stay lit the same color regardless. Behavior is erratic all round.
I know that this is kinda open ended, but I am not sure where to even start looking.
Any ideas? Thanks.
