Hey all, I’m trying to use FastLED on a 144 LED 1m Dotstar strip (attached to AdaFruit’s Atmega32u4 Breakout). For some reason it hangs/breaks after a couple of seconds. Do you know whether this setup can work in a stable fashion?
If I use “<Adafruit_DotStar.h>” instead of FastLED, everything works fine.

I’d need to see the code to see what you’re running into - can you post it to http://gist.github.com or http://pastebin.com so I can take a look?

Herewith the code I’m using to test/debug: http://pastebin.com/JkJtriKq

Which board are you running on? (I may have the hardware here and can do a direct test)

Thanks for the quick replies :slight_smile: This is the board I’m using: https://www.adafruit.com/products/296

Just ordered another small board (Teensy 3.2) to determine if it makes a difference. Will check that within a day.

@Daniel_Garcia Works perfectly on Teensy 3.2 (with DATA_RATE_MHZ(10)) ! :slight_smile: Thanks for your help!
