Hi all. I want to control a string of DotStar LEDs using one of the 3 available Hardware SPI modules on a Teensy 3.5 or 3.6. Do I use the same method as on a processor with only one SPI interface? Just add the LEDs:
‘FastLED.addLeds<DOTSTAR, DATA_PIN, CLOCK_PIN, BGR>(leds, NUM_LEDS);’
Do I need to also setup any pin multiplexer registers? Or, will FastLED recognize the pin numbers as Hardware SPI - capable and do all that for me?

Thanks.

You’ll need to get the teensy 3.5/3.6 fork of the library, if you haven’t already got it. Then just add the LEDs as you described.

OK, just get home from vacation and back to this. Time for dumb question: where do I get the Teensy 3.5/3.6 fork?
