Anybody try out the new Arduino Yun yet? (WiFi capable)
Interested in this + FastLED + TouchOSC for a slick Android/iPhone controllable lighting system
The yun requires 1.5.7 or 1.5.8 of the Arduino ide which breaks a bunch of the library. I haven’t had a chance to fix it yet.
I’ve used a Yún for a 576 LED panel. The over-the-air sketch upload feature is neat (beats having to physically connect the thing via USB) but there’s a big problem: after you take 1728 bytes for the LED array, there doesn’t seem to be enough RAM for the Wifi library on the Arduino side.
I haven’t had the chance to fiddle with it and see just how much the Yún’s Bridge library takes all by itself, but I suspect it’s quite a lot.
Thanks for the feedback
At this point I may try a cabled ethernet solution with OSC since it will be a permanent fixture
Seems like the Yun could be a great 1 piece control option given some more time and development
You can use the Yun with FastLED if you use Arduino 1.5.6r2. Not the best solution as you don’t get any of the Yun-related fixes in 1.5.7+, but it mostly works.
Ah! For some reason I thought Yun support wasn’t added until 1.5.7 - so I had just assumed that it was things related to Yun support that broke the library.
@Kev_Zhu You should look into the work @Jason_Podmore is doing with OSC
Thanks missed that post
I’m also interested in artnet/dmx for mapping VJ clips to an array, but for this project the OSC would be really basic usage, just to pass a color, timing, or brightness value.
Hi Kev, I’m currently using an arduino 2560 with an ethernet shield and a tp-link mini access point, this lets me run either artnet or tpm2net over the wifi, my “controller” is efectively a wireless access point that I can connect other devices too and run quite a few LED’s, doing it this way if your at a venue and they dont have a network or wireless it’s no problem as you have your own 
yes, i did 
the included example is basic and doesn’t use FastLED, but I could use FastLED with this architecture in some real project
