Hi all,

First congrats on FastLED, was able to switch to it from NeoPixels without much effort. In face I can switch between the 2 libraries using a pre-compiler directive.

However I do have a problem. I am using FastLED with the SdFat, UTFT and URTouch libraries. When the touch screen is touched (from a menu presented on the LCD), a LED sequence starts and when the sequence is completed it should return to menu and wait for commands.

However it does not return to the menu. I traced the calls and the code does go through the part where it’s supposed to write to the screen, but it does not change.

If I switch back to NeoPixel library, the code behaves like it should and after the LED sequence it returns to the menu and LCD access works.

Any clue ?

Thanks.

Ok, problem seems to be related to the number of LEDs in my strip (734 ). I even sometimes get reboot of my Arduino Mega…

Got it to work by defining my CRGB array as the size of my LED strip +10 and moving the declaration as the last one before the setup function. Works great.
