I 'm not using apa method, just an single led connection with 3 "+ data -" wires. Yet, there are some errors on compilation.

It is a bug that was recently fixed (3f66629b49f75d6eda0feb2b8ac513e396440b65), however, my colleague forgot to increase the version number and therefore, the fix was not propagated to the repository. I have increased the version number, but it can take up to 24 hours to propagate in the repository.

Meanwhile, you can add git@github.com:RoboticsBrno/SmartLeds.git instead of SmartLeds in your platformio.ini as a dependency.

The fix already present in the repository. Please confirm it works.

AlexFundorin commented 5 years ago

I can partially confirm, since I've DL the repository, instead of adding some extra lines to the ini file. So, the errors are disappeared. Yet, I couldn't test the lib itself since it was a surprise for me that my led board is only working with 5V logic, while I'm using 3V3 board in my current project.

WS2812 indeed require at least 5V power supply and unreliably work with 3.3V logic signals.
