Hello all, I'm new to the community,

Hello all, I’m new to the community, and I just purchased a meter of dotstars, and I was hoping to get started with them right away with some example code I’ve seen people have out there, but to my dismay, I have a teensy 3.6 which is unsupported :’(

Any idea when it may become supported?

I think Teensy 3.6 support was added to this branch by kcouck.

or maybe it’s this:

You can remove the official FastLED library from your arduino library and give his library a try. Remember to restart arduino after changing/updating libraries.

Wow thank you! I’ve yet to find some working code for my dotstars that use the fastled library, but I’m no longer getting error codes when I attempt to upload it so thank you! It was previously giving me an error code of an undefined pin, but that has gone away!

I don’t know if anyone can help but I have the similar issue, and neither of those branches seem to compile on my 3.6
