Hi all,
I have a project that uses the audio library to do a bunch of mixing, routing, and analysis. I'd like to use some pretty neat WS2812 LEDs as indicators, since I just discovered them in the 2020 package.
I am doing a few experiments and I am seeing that the Audio library interrupts are interfering with FastLED writing the strip. I have disabled the Audio interrupt while writing to the strips, but I can't check if that's messing up the audio at this moment. I will be able to listen later tonight hopefully.
I am using the Audio Shield, as well as I2C for a display driver.
I will have two strips, one with 34 LEDs, the other with 26.
Is there a better library than FastLED to use for this purpose? I assume OctoWS2812 would be more efficient since it uses DMA, but based on my reading of the page I need to reserve all 8 pins for it if I use it, and I can't dedicate that many pins to empty strips.
Thank you!
