Can anybody explain or send me a link to read that explains the use of.

FastLED.delay();

Currently I’m reading data from an SD card and displaying it on my strips. It works great but I am putting a delay(100) in my code to keep the speed of the animations regulated.

I’m wondering if FastLED.delay() would be any different.

I looked on the wiki but couldn’t find anything that explained it.

Cheers.

Phil

It helps drive the temporal dithering - https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/FastLED-Temporal-Dithering

@Phil_Spitler Under the hood FastLED.delay() is essentially running delay(1) and then show() over and over until the delay time you specified is up.

Don’t use delay(), use the non-blocking millis() method instead.
