Mark wrote a question on SparkCore homepage about porting FasLED to SparkCore enabled lib.
Is this a work that is ongoing or is it on hold?
Have some SparkCores and would like to build me a internet connected LED string… Would be great if FastLED could be used for this.
I have my SparkCore in my laptop bag today and I suspect it’s going to get some attention over the next week.
We’ll see what we can do.
Sounds great. Need to look into how the FastLED have changed/developed since it was a while that I used it. The page, Fastled.io, says “Animation”. Is there support for creating multiple row setups of strips as well?
In addition to new platforms I also want to do up some examples of multiple strips.
(Hit post too soon) - I’m a bit wiped from travel but I can take a look at the spark core data sheets at least while zoning out/nodding off
+1 for SparkCore!!
Daniel, do you plan to use DMA on Arm boards like Teensy and Spark Core?
Eventually, yes. Doing WS2811 style support via DMA without having a major explosion in memory requirements (or requiring users do something like split their strips out into groups of 8 like WS2811) will be a bit tricky.
However, first I want to get non-DMA support fully in place for teensy 3.1, due, and spark core (all 3 of which use completely different ARM chips with completely different SPI subsystems, GPIO subsystems, and DMA subsystems).
