Hi team
I have an arduino board that is running 8 separate FastLED sequences. It also timing when the sequences switch, strobes and other stuff via relays.
It is just not fast enough despite a load of work to streamline the code.
So have decided to switch to your Teensy boards...... some questions arise:
Is it possible to use the Octo adapter board with the 3.5 and as simple as just plug in the leads direct to the WS2812B strips (and some lumpy 5V power being added in)? I see there are resistors in line.
Am I right that my big 5v power supply connects to both the Teensy board and the LEDs?
For FastLED do I simply need to tell it which pins are which and off I go, or will I need to rewrite some code?
Can I use a second octo run from pins 24 to 32 and then plug the cat 6 outputs to switch 5V Relays (if I configure the pins)? This would seem a neat way to get back to a 5v system?
I am also using wire.h on the board to control some DMX effects on another board do you clog up any of these pins- think I can use 18 and 19 off the side?
Will I benefit from learning your timer to further improve speed functions as these seem pretty sophisticated?
And finally can I use the wire.h to control your very cool music player that I am assembling too!
The whole thing is for controlling music, DMX and lights and PWM in sync and automatically on a float.
Thanks
