I've done a fair amount of work on this, adding in beat detection, more effects, and tidying up some of the code to make it more flexible for new effects - [Here's a quick preview](https://streamable.…

The ESP8266 is a very inexpensive ($5) wifi-enabled SOC with an Xtensa LX3 CPU core (read: it's NOT ARM, and it's NOT AVR). It's typically provided pre-flashed with code that makes it act like a Seri…

With the default config, the hardware spi device can only send 4096 bytes at a time. This becomes a problem if you want to control >1000 LEDs (as each LED takes up 4 bytes). Software SPI is similarly …

Hi. I'm really sorry to post this because I've seen lots of ESP8266 threads, but I'm lost reading my way through all of them. I'm trying to compile FirstLight on an Adafruit Huzzah (link below) connec…

I was trailing this firmware with some new ws2813 strip and found it to be acting intermittently like it was having a data problem.
After some research it seems while for the most part these new chi…

If I try the library with lighting up all 144 LEDS, the last 2 are not light up correctly and seem delayed by a step. I confirmed this using an Arduino Uno and ESP8266. I switched to the FastLED libra…

The sk6812 is a digital light strip which works similar to the ws2812, but is also available with additional white leds. Adafruit also sells them as Neopixels RGBW.
I guess this is a better choice, a…

I just recently got a strip of DotStar LEDs, and noticed while programming a strip to flash between two colors that if I set the length to the number of LEDs and periodically called `strip.show()` wit…

Hi,
the parallel output feature in 3.1 may have a bug when using dotstars and the due, using Arduino 1.6.5.
symptom: the first 50 or so pixels in a strip work fine, the rest blink haphazardly.
we…

Hey,
tested your library to get my dotstar leds working but they're just turning all white as soon as I start you program or any other way of setting the color (e.g. strandtest.py). They are RGB LEDs…
