Hi, I have recently tried out the FastLED library with a WeMos D1 Mini and a string of APA102 LEDs, it seems to work fine, but I noticed there is a warning about SPI / bit banging.

“ESP8266_WebServer_and_AccessPoint_w_FastLED”

Is there a way to enable use of the hardware SPI for the ESP8266? Thanks!

There is no hardware spi support in FastLED for the esp8266 yet

@Thom1 ​, I’m sorry but there currently isn’t a way to use hardware SPI on the ESP8266.

The library works brilliantly on these boards without it though :slight_smile:

@Jeremy_Spencer , do you mean hardware SPI is not possible in general for the ESP8266, or just for this library?

It just hasn’t been implemented yet.
