FastLED based output #134

Open netmindz opened 4 months ago

netmindz commented 4 months ago

Add the LED output option via FastLED rather than NeoPixelBus to compare how it performs, especially if it is lest prone to flicker/glitches

Ouput working, but config not saving properly so you need to re-enter the values. Had all sorts of fun with this during the Hub75 driver, need to remind myself how to fix

Lessons learned today: FastLED clockless RMT is not compatible with NeoPixelBus - You can either have LEDs driven by one or the other, but you cannot use both drivers at the same time. If you try, WLED will freeze, and then freeze will happen again after each reboot.

It looks like NeoPixelBus stalls waiting for RMT Interrupts - even on RMT units that are not assigned to NPB.
