Hi there,

I am curious to know what level of support FastLED has for RGBW chip sets. I’m interested in using the WS2814 (which is actually GRBW, and I believe follows the same 1-wire protocol of other WS81XX). I’ve had success controlling it with NeoPixel, but I’m really liking the amenities you guys have added to FastLED! I noticed a commit message that mentioned rgbw, but it doesn’t look like this particular pel format is provided by master (or other branches on GH). If there’s work already done, or needs to be done, I’d all for helping out.

Thanks!

FastLED does not currently support RGBW chipsets but Daniel is working on it.

Cool, thank you. If there’s an opportunity for me to get involved, I’m happy to help move it forward (development or testing on Arduino, and esp8266).
