Please tell me.
Can we merge a program of fast led and adafruit neo pixal in one single program. I try but lost of errors occur.

Yes, you should be able to use both libraries in a program. Did you confirm that both programs individually worked before trying to combine them?
Depending on what you’re wanting to do you will probably need to rewrite some of the code though.

yes sir first i confirmed that both program will running. Can u give me any examples for both libraries combine in one program

4

I only use the FastLED library so don’t have any examples with both. I have only seen some code by others.
Post your code to http://gist.github.com and maybe someone can help.

ok thank you sir.

i am trying this examples but only one effect is running.
What should i do?

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#include “FastLED.h”
#define PIN 6
#define NUM_LEDS 50
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic ‘v1’ (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUM_LEDS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ400);

// Define the array of leds
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];

void setup() {
FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection( TypicalLEDStrip );
strip.begin();
strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to ‘off’

}

// REPLACE FROM HERE
void loop() {

colorWipe(0x00,0xff,0x00, 50);
colorWipe(0x00,0x00,0x00, 50);
delay(50);
Sparkle(0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0);
Sparkle(0xff, 0, 0xff, 0);
delay(50);
}

void colorWipe(byte red, byte green, byte blue, int SpeedDelay) {
for(uint16_t i=0; i<NUM_LEDS; i++) {
setPixel(i, red, green, blue);
showStrip();
delay(SpeedDelay);
}
}
// REPLACE TO HERE

void Sparkle(byte red, byte green, byte blue, int SpeedDelay) {
int Pixel = random(NUM_LEDS);
setPixel(Pixel,red,green,blue);
showStrip();
delay(SpeedDelay);
setPixel(Pixel,0,0,0);
}

void showStrip() {
#ifdef ADAFRUIT_NEOPIXEL_H
// NeoPixel
strip.show();
#endif
#ifndef ADAFRUIT_NEOPIXEL_H
// FastLED
FastLED.show();
#endif
}

void setPixel(int Pixel, byte red, byte green, byte blue) {
#ifdef ADAFRUIT_NEOPIXEL_H
// NeoPixel
strip.setPixelColor(Pixel, strip.Color(red, green, blue));
#endif
#ifndef ADAFRUIT_NEOPIXEL_H
// FastLED
leds[Pixel].r = red;
leds[Pixel].g = green;
leds[Pixel].b = blue;
#endif
}

void setAll(byte red, byte green, byte blue) {
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++ ) {
setPixel(i, red, green, blue);
}
showStrip();
}

Please post your code to http://gist.github.com and share the link.

Try to combine them bits at a time to try to find out what is causing the problem(s). If you’re not able to figure out the conflicts you might need to choose which library you want to use and rewrite/convert the code you want from one library to the other. I think it would be easier to just use one library.

ya u r right sir thank you. i am also thinking of use one library.
