FastLED Support (addressable LED stripes, e.g. WS2812b)
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2017 8:53 amHi,
I am working on a project to run predefined effects on addressable LED stripes (around 300 LEDs of WS2812b type), triggered and controlled via network (WiFi). ESP BASIC running on on an ESP2866 should be the ideal platform for that, since it works interactively - no need for minute-long turn-around times during effect creation.
But how could I include FastLED into the binary, and how to access it through BASIC? The FastLED library makes it very easy to control LED stripes where each single LED can be controller individually. See http://fastled.io/
Is there any plan for this? Or is there a general how-to on adding new libraries to ESPBasic?
Thanks for your ideas!
Ralf
