@Juergen_Bruegl could you take a look at the code u sent me please if you have time email me at raveruk1@hotmail.com and ill email it back and thanks for all your help hope to get pictures and video done soon
@Juergen_Bruegl hope you can help just had a had drive melt down and have lost the code you emailed me could i email it again please thanks now it find all the other code i lost aaahhhhhhh
Hello, amazing work. I’ve tried your code with ws2812 ledstrip and it doesn’t work. Is they’re a solution to have your code working with ws2812 ledstrip
@Jerome_BARBEL should work out of the box. Strip settings are in line 76 (change to WS2812, although 2811 should be OK too, and your data pin) and 168, that is already set to one wire data.
What ESP are you using? Have you got your setup running with any other code, like DemoReel?
i’ve seen that i need to decrease the voltage of the strip near 3.3v. It’s seem’s to be ok. I’ve order a 3.3v 5v converter to use the full brightness of the strip.
@Jerome_BARBEL you are mixing something up: ESP side = 3.3V, LED side = 5V You should use a 5V power supply and a small 3.3V converter for the ESP
Make sure the converter has a min of 300mA

hi Juergen , thanks for sharing your code , actually I made my sketch base on your sketch and have tried to create the scenario with predefined effects in my sketch , however my wifi stack got chocked after while , I drew the tissue in following link and really appreciated if you could look at it https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/issues/337#issuecomment-238694433
@Hamid_s_k you will eventually loose your webconnection. In my example I reconnect.
Jason Coon made even a better web socket implementation. https://plus.google.com/+JasonCoon1/posts/QhFE7hwmxBn
thanks Juergen , can you spare a time and check the issue in github , I really appreciated to have your comments about my sketch
maybe you want to use Jason’s or my Webserver implementation, and avoid delay() within the sketch.
Sorry, can’t analyze your sketch in depth right now.
Now that I’ve got a Huzzah, I’ll try this as well as Jason’s. Thanks!
hats off !!
Why can I not get this to compile?
Error compiling for board NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12 Module).
@Rob_Skold I’m a noob, move along please.
Issue solved.
@Rob_Skold I’m a noob too 
what did you do to fix? Thanks.
It was awhile ago but I believe I had the wrong board type selected in the arduino IDE.
