OctoWS2811 lib + FastLED array of CRGB arrays of leds - how to use?

[FeuerSturm]

Hi,

I am currently using a Teensy 4.0 for receiving USB packets sent by SignalRGB
(PC app for syncing leds), setting colors to each led in the appropriate CRGB array
for the selected Channel (I am using 4 channels that each can consist of multiple
used pins) and then "showing" them with FastLED.

Using that method reduces the framerate of the leds the more leds are added.
With 256 leds in total, I can achive 31 frames per second, with 2048 leds it
drops to 16 fps, so I thought OctoWS2811 with its parallel output would be
the solution to increase the frame rate.

Questions would be:
- does the OctoWS2811 lib support FastLED's array of CRGB arrays of leds?
- can I just use the structures of data I have and use OctoWS2811 to "show" the leds instead of FastLED?

Thanks!

Think it does, see this example.

Hi Paul,

thanks for the reply, I've seen that example, I was just unsure
as it just uses a normal array with all leds in it.
I have found the part of the FastLED source in the mean time and am
pretty positive that array of CRGB arrays works as well.

I should have looked through the source before posting here...

Like said, thanks for taking the time to dig that up.
