Hi All… I’ve just buyed a 4mt 240 ws2812 led strip to do some test with an arduino 1 and a msgeq7 and it works fine. My question is that I need to “Duplicate” the output of the Data Pin to 2,4,6 and at least 8 Pins and “switch” ON/OFF the strips separately. This to reduce memory usage (only 240 led array) and to compact the scketch.
Is it possible to do this with FastLED library, or should I add Hardware to “switch” the Power line of the strips and parallelize the Data Pin ?
I’ve read the “Multiple Controller Examples” page added few days ago in documentation… but this is nothing new…
A) I have 1 Array and N pins (all ON at the same time) and no ability to switch them ON/OFF (for example to rotate a pattern through N strips…)
B) I have N arrays (or 1 N*LEDS big array which is the same) and so there is too much memory usage.
Would’nt it be possible to add a parameter like “…show(pin)” where I can decide which PIN to SHOW ?
