I am trying to control a bunch of LED strips(WS2812B) with my Atmega328p(I got 480 LEDs to control) and an HC-06 Bluetooth module. I am trying having 2 Arduino’s where one receives data and waits till the led controller is ready. Any advice. Should I keep trying to get this setup work or move to the Teensy 3.2?

I’m a bit confused. You have a Atmega238p paired with a HC-06. And somewhere in there you have two Arduinos? One that receives data and waits for a LED controller to be ready.

Can you draw it and attach that?

I’m thinking it would be pretty easy to use any gpio pin on the Arduino to act as a ready pin.

@Joe_Avery_HakAtIt The setup where one Arduino is connected to the Bluetooth and waits for the other Arduino to be available. Yeah I am now trying to use a pin as the “ready” state but I’m having delay problems(probably just a stupid error)

maybe caught in a program cycle. Is the ready programed (and appropriate pin) as interrupt or just being polled?

@Joe_Avery_HakAtIt I was using the readByte() command and I forgot that the default timeout is 1 second. Now I have a new problem I can’t figure it out. It’s almost midnight by 2 hours where I live, so ill take a rest and take a look at it again tomorrow
