Hi,
I am attempting to use the OctoWS2811 library to control LEDs on a robot I am constructing. The main purpose of the LEDs is to display colored sequences (e.g. a yellow light flashing repeatedly) to communicate the robot's status. To time these flashes, I would have to call from the main loop repeatedly to check whether enough time has passed for each part of the flashing sequence. Does OctoWS2811 provide a way to offload this job to the DMA part? Technically it should be possible I think but I didn't find anything yet. I want to avoid having to call from the main loop as sometimes the main loop might require a longer time to complete once and thus the LED update will not be called often enough.
Thank you!
