Hi!
I am looking for a little help and I am brand-new to using a microcontroller with LEDs
I am using this hardware:
Red is "12V" and verified with DMM (digital multimeter); connected to '+'
White is "GND" and verified with DMM; connected to '-'
I have 11.65VDC at the lightstrip.
Teensy is connected to my computer and the Octo WS2811 adapter board.
Ethernet cable (CAT5) is wired thusly:
BU (Blue) = DATA
BU/WT (Blue/White) = GND
I am using the Library in the Arduino IDE Examples called "WS2812Serial/BasicTest"
I see in the code the options to use any of these pins:
1, 5, 8, 10, 31*
*I tried all of these pins, in both of the RJ45 jacks.
The Teensy appears to be working correctly. For example, I was able to modify and test the standard basic "Blink" program
Any ideas on what to check next?
thanks,
Scott
