multiple ws2812 on same arduino

Open magrigian opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

I have one rig with 6 arms. I put a single led strip on every arm for a total of 150 leds. I would like to drive leds of each arm as a single led strip. For example show rpm on all arms during race, or show different effect between arms. One for rpm, other for flag or something else.

Solution A can be to let create group of led and manage these groups as valid output.
Solution B let the ability to set up multiple led strip connected to different pin on same hardware.

Wled uses solution A and works well. Pls. look on it!

Thanks for your help.

Regards Gianluca

I agree with that. I can have multiple 7-segment decoders on a single arduino, but no WS2812B.

Hi ! Most Arduinos are using slow usb to serial chips,

If you have a THE fast chip (atmega32u4) you can bypass this limit and use the firmware builder : https://manual.simhubdash.com/standard-serial-firmware-builder/firmware-introduction
