I may have found it. I will upload it now and give it a crack.
Okay, got an LED to fire up and cycle through some colours which feels good being a few days out.
Awesome. Is your whole entire array ready to connect?
You’ll be good to get it all working to make sure every pixel is ready and rule out any issues or possibly dead pixels
I have a bunch of interns putting the lights in the wholes today although I have roughly one panel good to go. In all honesty, I have heaps of man power for that and I am really prepared there - it’s just this code I’m freaking out about a little haha
I will try and have a panel of 20x20 plugged up and powered today so that we can at the very least get one bay working and tested then it should just be a matter of wiring and the physical work on my end.
I’m just stuck in the office at the moment on a different site so I can’t get to wiring up right now 
If my phone wasn’t broken I would totally be uploading more photos so you can see what we are doing
No worries mate

Hey Chris! I’ve just got the first “bay” of 10 columns up and running. I had a random thought which makes total sense - I am going to use 8 power supplies, I may as well use all 8 outputs on the octo to half the LED strip length and have equal lengths of 10 columns meaning a new out on the octo for every power supply. It’s starting to look really great just running a basic rainbow.
Now that I have something up and running and all the examples are running great - when do you think we can problem solve that code you sent through and the errors that popped up my end?
Yes using all 8 is great and if they are all even columns it makes it easy in the software to map. After looking at your pics I did have a palm slap to the forehead (to me). It’s much better to do it the column way and use all 8.
Your error is a minor one. You can simply remove the Ethernet folder under c:\programfiles(x86)\arduino\libraries\ethernet.
Make sure the keep the teensy Ethernet one. The problem with compiling is if two libraries call for the dame file you will get an error. I have always removed the non teensy conflict folders, since teensy has more specific libraries it’s best to us them over the others.
How is your current load looking? Double check your good on that so pixels are happy.
When you remove the folder be sure to run the library manager again I believe it reindexes the the folders so it’s possible It may error out again if you haven’t
I thought it might be something like that! I am just about to pop out for the morning and won’t get to test until after lunch or late tonight but will keep you updated.
And yeah haha it’s kinda funny I did a bit of a palm slap myself.
I tested a single strip of 20 and was drawing 1.1 amps and I am using a PC psu with 15 amp max on the 12v rail. I have linked 5 of the ten strips together with 1.5mm2 copper cable and then the same with the other five and they meet back at the PC PSU. It does concern me though as the PC psu only has 7 x 20awg wires for the 12v rail and technically that is rated at 1.5 amp per 20awg wire - it doesn’t equal to the max 15 amp the PC pushes out - that’s why I’ve linked them and used a thick wire to share a load a little - nothing was getting hot and all pixels ran really nicely. Will upload a video soon.
I just checked out how to do that - i’ll make sure to run the library manager.
thanks!
Hey Chris, I deleted that folder and it seems to have sorted that out. Then I got an error regarding #include <E131.h> so I downloaded the zip from here (GitHub - forkineye/E131: E1.31 (sACN) library for Arduino with ESP8266 support) and then I got another error so I downloaded this (GitHub - me-no-dev/ESPAsyncUDP: Async UDP library for ESP8266) and now I’ve got this error
In file included from C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Arduino\libraries\E131-master\E131Async.cpp:20:0:
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Arduino\libraries\E131-master\E131Async.h:24:25: fatal error: ESP8266WiFi.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling for board Teensy 3.2 / 3.1.
Do I just keep downloading libraries and adding them until it works?
Do you have Skype? Wondering if we need to setup a time and go over this in realtime. I will attach the e131 i used for the code. Its was a few months ago and looks like he has made some changes for async stuff.
paste this folder in your arduino library location and run the library manager. be sure to remove the previous e131.
I’m free for an hour now if you’re keen?
