Hi Guys,
Been using Teensy 3.1 and the FastLED library with WS2812b’s for quite some time, but for this project, I’d like to use the Teensy LC. Is the Teensy LC supported with WS2812’s yet?
No, it isn’t. The cortex m0 arm is proving to be quite difficult to support with ws2812 style led chipsets and keep everything that fastled does when writing out led data. (Also, I honestly don’t see any reason to choose an LC over a 3.1 - especially when factoring in the cost of leds, power supplies mounting hardware, etc…)
Well, in this case, I intend to set up multiple units and so the saving on the LC’s over 3.1’s adds up pretty quick.
This is pretty unfortunate, especially given the buffer which makes the hardware side of things trivial. =(
Does it work in a limited form at all? I only need it to drive a handful of LEDs (5 channels, with < 40 leds per channel) and only need a small subset of FastLED’s features.
I would choose an LC over a 3.1 for the ease of use in a small project (no parallel needed), as the LC has a 5v output
