First of all: great library. I recently bought a blinkytape and started experimenting with it - great fun. I have since ordered longer strips of the same type (w/o controller) - bigger projects ahead.
I have a timing question: I can see (100MHz scope), that the 0-pulses are 440ns and the 1-pulses are 820ns. So far, so good. But the period is 1940ns; shouldn’t it be ~1250ns? Or is that something the library can’t achieve (with scaling and more stuff going on)? I just thought it would, because there are explicit warnings for “not enough cycles”, which are not triggered in my programs.
The 1940ns is solid, by the way; hardly any jitter at all (1982ns average for 1440bits). So if this is expected, I’m satisfied - I just thought it would be ~1250ns.
Details:
Library is RC5, Arduino IDE is 1.0.5+dfsg2-1, Hardware is blinkytape (arduino leonardo compatible), Linux Mint Cinnamon (shouldn’t matter)
Init is LEDS.addLeds<WS2811, LED_OUT, GRB>(leds, LED_COUNT);
