Hi All I know this is a easy fix but I cant seem to find it. I just started playing with 2.1 branch on a Uno and WS2811now I getting Flickering on the LED’s I believe its a parameter that needs to be added to the FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, DATA_PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS); line

any help would be great

If you send data to the LEDs, for this particular chipset, too fast, then you can run into flickering. Try adding LEDS.delay() between frames to slow your animation. This is especially true when using <100 LEDs in your code.

Or you could try this too: FastLED.addLeds<WS2811_400, DATA_PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);

Thanks I will give that a try

Just so you know, I found that info in the library under the FastLED.h file. The “.h” files are your go to, at least for me, in problem solving.

You can also try and .setDithering(0), as in LEDS.addLeds<…>(…).setDIthering(0);

Also got flickering led’s (300pc, P9813 leds) when the values are low.
How does this .setDithering(0) work? Can’t find any info about this :wink:

Thanks Jon!
FastLED.setDither(0); Works superb :wink:
