anyone able to help me get the fastled demos for the smartmatrix with teensy 3.1 to compile. its spitting out a ton of errors, and I dont know enough arduino to fix it myself…
http://pastebin.com/cs2q4c0n for errors trying to compile fastled functions.
http://pastebin.com/LPbu2LgB for errors trying to compile fastled controller
Hey, sorry if I’m missing it, which demo are you trying? Is it this one? https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/examples/SmartMatrix/SmartMatrix.ino
no its the ones from the smartmatrix lib
but even the fastled one errors out.

You might check what version of FastLED you’re using. Looks like it’s using the one here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\FastLED/FastLED.h Open that file and look for #define FASTLED_VERSION (mine’s on line 10). The latest on GitHub is 3000002 (3.0): https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/FastLED.h
its 2001000
wrong version… how do I fix this?
If you use Git, you can clone FastLED from here: https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED, otherwise, just download from here: https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/releases/tag/3.0.3 Make sure you remove the old version and put the new one in it’s place.
I did download it, but its installed to users/firehopper/documents/Arduino/libraries/FastLED-3.0.3
overwrote the one in the arduino program dir with the one from the user lib dir. and it works now, thanks so much 
using it with teensydunio
No problem, glad you got it working.
anyone have any neat demos for me to stress test my display with? dont have a sd card connected to my smart matrix board yet
Most of mine require an SD card and/or an IR remote, but here’s one that doesn’t require any other hardware: https://github.com/pup05/RainbowSmoke
Here’s another one by Stefan Petrick that looks great: https://github.com/StefanPetrick/FunkyNoise
The 1.3 release of Aurora will automatically cycle through different patterns if you specify that you don’t have an IR remote connected. You can try it out here: https://github.com/pixelmatix/aurora/tree/Aurora1.3
the funkynoise wont compile. something with animations.ino
and aurora wont either, says aJSON.h not found
Not sure about funky noise, what’s the error? Aurora is a little more involved, here’s a wiki: https://github.com/pixelmatix/aurora/wiki/Compiling
http://pastebin.com/6udiFtQ1 < funkynoise error.
followed the aurora wiki and now its complaining about another h file, Aurora.ino:78:23: fatal error: ClockText.h: No such file or directory, what do I need to install now?
