Hi guys, Before I make a video display with LED strip with a complex

Hi guys,
Before I make a video display with LED strip with a complex controlling system(https://youtu.be/eEgfiywS73M). But I want to simplify that for users now. After a lot I think that TV controllers are user friendly and very cheap,I want to decode the outputs of controller and then send data to LED strip. what’s your idea?!

Good places to start:

Once you are receiving IR commands it will be up to you to decide how to use the data to change the LED display.

There are several people here that have used IR remotes to control things.

TV(LED board like C10 or C30) controller board not regular remote control for TV

What are you trying to accomplish? If that board can talk spi or i2c, then you can build a protocol to talk. UART would work too. But this seems complicated for some reason and I can’t find the controllers you mention on google. If you can put up some more info, that might help.

OK, I think you either don’t need FastLED for this, the controller is supposed to do this as a display controller. It won’t do much for FastLED, as they are both roughly the same thing. What are you trying to accomplish?

If you want many (tens) of thousands of pixels, you need to investigate this a different way. I think this is overkill for anything this group focuses on.

Otherwise just get the Octo and a Teensy and use FastLED as intended.

DB Star make a profile for their LED wall processors that drives ws2811 chips. You need a sender card and a receiver card.

@Nick_Diacre Thanks
