Hallo,
is it possible to use the leds-Array without output to pin?
I like to use this Array for sending to a DMX-Array for use with ArtNetNode.

Sorry for my bad english, i’m a german user.
Thanks Andy

You’re not required to have anything hooked to the output pin, but you might still need to have it setup like it was going to use one. And then just do your own thing with the data in the “leds” array after calling http://FastLED.show().

Also if you didn’t realize you can output to DMX have a look at this post.

Is a FastLED.show() absolutely necessary in this case? I guess that array is already filled before?

I believe you are correct, wouldn’t be needed if you’re not going to output to a pin.
