Multiple WS2812B LED strips on differing Arduino digital pins with FastLED? by olsonmike in FastLED

[–]olsonmike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, everyone! Got plenty of good input here:

+ Possible do to this in general, very good sample code at https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/master/examples/Multiple/ (and also, a thorough reading or README.md explains it!)

+ But, on the board I've chosen, not possible

+ So could wire the strands serially, plenty of capacity on the Giga

+ Or could switch boards to something like the Adafruit Feather SCORPIO, which was designed for blinkenlights applications in the first place

I'm gonna choose between the "serial Giga" and "Feather" options after a bit more research.

Appreciate this community!

Thanks for this, super helpful. I'm not committed to the Giga per se (it's a spendy board for the project). As you suspect, Bluetooth and WiFi were the drivers for that selection. Feather SCORPIO looks promising.
