Hello Folks
I’ve built this "Mega"Pixel Display, 16x16 ws2811 Pixels driven by an ardiuno mega. It’s a rebuillt of a half finished project I did years ago and stopped due to several circumstances. The Pixels used to LPD 8806 Chipset and were switched to new ws2811 ones. But now I can’t retrace my steps in coding for that thing.

I had the code set, so I could play video files from Processing to the Arduino via usb-cable. But now I can’t figure out how to do this again. Can someone help me out?

FastLED is working fine so far with the examples provided.

@Ra_Hab hello you can read this https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OctoWS2811.html there is a part about pushing movie through serial

@Yves_BAZIN thank you for your answer, but octoWS2811 uses different HW i don’t wanna buy.

@Ra_Hab i know but down the page you have a program java to stream using serial and you can use the code on the client side to adapt to your mcu.
Basically the java program extract bmp images out of the video send them via serial to the mcu that just displays the result

@Yves_BAZIN I just found this Glediator Thing while researching. Seems to do all the things i need in one package.
