Does FastLED.delay() differ in any significant way from the typical Arduino delay() function?
Calling FastLED.delay() will allow FastLED to perform temporal dithering. If you have dithering disabled, it will not have any visual effect, but FastLED will continually output the LED data while waiting.
@Aaron_Ryan FYI, FastLED.delay() is actually calling FastLED.show() under the hood.
Ok thanks for that info. So if I use it in this simple context:
void loop(){
FastLED.show();
FastLED.delay(whateverDelayTime);
}
Does the FastLED.delay() function still block other processes like the Arduino delay()?
Trying to find a way around using FastLED.show() in an ISR to do LED sequences for 16 LED’s.
Ok…I see, thanks Marc.
