@Sam_Guyer Hello Sam, I have my 8 strips ready and I’m trying your library with my fresh lolin32 but unable to compile the parallel output example. Does it need something special to do? Since I can’t see any comment tips about port and pin layout for ESP32 …

You can’t use the ParallelOutputDemo on ESP32 (yet?). Try MultipleStripsInOneArray: https://github.com/samguyer/FastLED/blob/master/examples/Multiple/MultipleStripsInOneArray/MultipleStripsInOneArray.ino

This works great for me: https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp32-fastled-webserver/blob/master/esp32-fastled-webserver.ino#L198-L205

Thanks Jason, it works w/8 strips , what am I supposed to do with the webserver example? I own two Wifi libraries, one in the espressif/esp32 folder and the other in your fork. That causes conflicts to compile. I also don’t really see why the ParallelOutputDemo sketch is not usable. Questionssssorrrry! ^^)

@Derrick_Giscloux I have not implemented the special interface that fastled provides for parallel output across all platforms. It’s probably not hard, given that parallel output is already the default. For now, just add each step separately, as if you were doing serial output. Does that make sense?

Yes it makes sense, many thanks @Sam_Guyer . It works. I was confused because the official FL example needs the PORT to be defined. I understand that Parallel Output is the default mode with Sam’s fork. Nothing special to do here with PORT definition. That’s even simplier :slight_smile:

@Derrick_Giscloux Cool. Yeah, that’s the beauty of the RMT device – it is essentially a separate processor for sending the signal
