hello,
did someone used the DMXserial library at the same time than the FastLED one on an arduino project ?
If you don’t put at least 50ms of delay after LEDS.show(); your LED ( WS2812B) will flicker.
Does someone know why and how to fix this ?
thx

Hello I have the same problem when it’s 170 pixels at 50 ms terribly slow to use this sketch. http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?32978-Arduino-as-pixel-controller&p=329123

The flicker is because the FastLED library’s code is too fast: if you have fewer than about 85 pixels, FastLED can start sending new data before the led strip has finished processing the previous frame. A fix is in the works, probably coming in July. Until then, I’d recommend just using delay.

There may be some DMX interactions too, but this is a known “problem”.

cool, looking forward for this fix
thx

I would need to use the full number of channels 510 that is 170 pixels not some sketch which would work correctly for 170 pixels ?.

Hi Seb, I’m running fastled and dmxsimple in the same sketch without any issues but I’m using lpd8806

Hi jason. Des your led use a spi hardware line or regular pin of your arduino.? If you’re Ok with it, can you share a bit of your code ,may be I’m using it the wrong way. Thx anyway
