Is there somewhere a comparison chart for all the leds fastled supports, i am running into interrupt problems with the ws2812b and the wifi on the esp8266 and i don’t know if switching to an esp32 would help (the wifi is controlled by a separate chip).
I am confused with dotstar, apa and the various lpd leds and dot know which ones to take.
Quoting someone who helped me
" Try adding the line:
#define FASTLED_ALLOW_INTERRUPTS 0 before the #include <FastLED.h> – what you’re describing sounds like an interrupt that’s running a bit too long (but that isn’t being caught as having run too long by the code that allows interrupts) "
The main problem I have is that packages seem to get lost causing my sketch running out of sync, it gets better when I reduce the count of leds, is the interrupted enabled out the box?
To be honest im not too sure. I have more experience with Attiny85’s
Maybe @Jason_Coon can help
There’s a page on the wiki with info - the esp32 is not yet supported.
I’d try some faster LEDs, SK9822s are blisteringly quick…
I use ESP8266s and with APA102s and SK9822s without any problems at all. But I’m only using the WiFi to change pattern etc
The neopixelbus library works for me but it’s missing so many great functions from fastled
