Hello everybody, well I am not exactly completely new to Arduino, but I am to Neopixels and FastLED for that matter. I am working on a project that involves about 11 meters of 60 leds/m Neopixel string which a Mega should run without much problems, but I am pretty sure a) I am not using the FastLED to the max and b) I am not sure I am using it to be as Efficient as possible (it is a whole bunch of LEDS here) specially because I am controlling this with a DMX controller.

So my first question is… is there somewhere some sort of explanation in plain english of the whole bunch of functions that this library has, and the variables that they need to work? I know there is a bunch of examples, but the examples are not always easy to figure out. If anybody has downloaded the AccelStepper library, in there is an HTML file with all the functions explained (perfect for just enthusiasts like me). Is there something like this for FastLED?

thank you very much for any help / guidance / enlightment that you can share here.

oh great, on the site, when clicking on documentation link, you are redirected to the wiki, I don’t see a direct link to the program documentation anywhere else. This is very useful :wink:
