Octows2811--looping an led strip back on itself to create "more" strips on one pin?
Hello, I'm new here. I'm trying to build a project that's 32x43 LEDs controlled by the Teensy3.2 and Octows2811 Adapter with the purpose of just being a basic lightshow--I'm not planning to tie video into it. I'm aware that the Octo ideally adapts the teensy to 8 strips of equal length, but I'm hoping to avoid using multiple teensys and multiple octos.
Is it possible to take a single strip on a single pin and alter the code such it can be divided into multiple sections to basically mimic having more individual strips on that single pin? The strip would be physically broken up into multiple sections, but electrically still be wired in series. If that makes sense. Is there an easy - ish way to achieve my goals?
Thanks!
