- Fri Feb 13, 2015 11:25 pm #9713 I just added a simple UDP server that works with PixelController (https://github.com/neophob/PixelController). The module crashed about 30s in, and I think I fried it trying to restart it in the dark, so no video yet. I'm working on getting my backups working in the meantime.

I enjoy these led strip and have already writen an Android App to interface APA102 240 Ledsstrip.

See result here :

Do you have an idea of the speed you can get with lua langage ?

With my Microchip PIC24 I get what you see and even twice faster if I boost the UART to 230400 bauds

Thanks

I am a total noob with SPI (only used WS281x LEDs on Arduino before) - do you just need to assign a MISO and CLK pin, as there's no data coming back?
