Fastest and simplest library for ARGB LEDs: WS28xx and SK68xx Series RGB or RGBW for STM32 Series.
Uses DMA Interrupts and PWM to control LED Strip

- Use CubeMX to configure clocks and peripheral.
- Enable PWM Generation for your preferred timer channel.
- PWM Mode 1, OC Preload: Enable, Fast Mode: Disable, CH Polarity: High
- Enable DMA for your timer channel with "Memory To Peripheral" direction.
- Set DMA mode to Circular, Data Width to Word/Byte, Increment Address checkbox only for Memory.
- Set GPIO Speed to the Maximum, use Open Drain or Push Pull Mode - details in Troubleshooting.
- Save CubeMX .ioc file and generate code.
- Add library to your source destination and add #include in your code.
- In main.c file search for your DMA Handler
/* Private variables */ TIM_HandleTypeDef htim2; DMA_HandleTypeDef hdma_tim2_ch2_ch4; <-- THIS
- Add this handler in ARGB.h file in DMA HANDLE define.
- Set other defines with your settings.
- Now we're ready to go!
