I think I have a cool idea for something which I would like to share with you guys…

The idea is a website applet that allows you to create an LED matrix of arbitrary size and shape within the browser and test your FastLED code on it.

I think this would be particularly helpful when you don’t have the required hardware for the project you envision. I think it would also make software debugging easier.

It’s just an idea, thought I would share. Maybe it already exists somewhere? FastLED probably doesn’t have a large enough user base to justify building such a site anyway haha

Not web based, but this was my attempt at something similar to your idea. It still requires the microcontroller because the code gets uploaded and runs there as normal, but the output data is sent to the computer so you don’t need the physical LEDs.
