This installed with a version of the ESP8266 LPD6803 driver that works, I have 13 *3 Leds in a string around the edge of an infinity mirror running on ESP8266-01

Hi GengusKahn! it is not clear in your previous post if you are using the esp8266+lpd6803 firmware from here? And, if you were able to get it to work with 13*3 leds??

or did you use https://github.com/popsodav/esp8266-lpd6803

This is an idea to tie an arduino pro mini 3.3v 8Mhz running the FastLed library and the tpm2ser firmware together with a esp8266 acting as a tpm2net/tpm2ser gateway ... I will also be testing this with a 5v 16Mhz arduinos ...

my first approch is going to be a full gateway ... convert the incomming tpm2net to an rgb buffer then output the tpm2ser thru the esp8266's uart ... this would use the stock arduino (tpm2ser) firmware (or any other existing devices out there) without any changes ...

The second approch i am going to use a modified version of the arduion (tpm2net) firmware ... the esp8266 will simply pass the input tpm2net packets recieved (whole/unproccessed) to the arduino (using the uart) where the arduino will handle the decoding of the tpm2net protocol ...

Hi, I tested the code only today but it seems that the code does not work.

I ordered a strip of lpd6803s today ... be here next week for testing

anyone with ws2801 test things yet? I expect it to work as it is basiclly frans-willem's code ...

Connect your output ordinary LED diode just to see if they work GPIO output in this case GPIO0,2 not work properly, I do not have any at home so I do not try ws2801 functionality of the code.

Great idea I also use the library FastLed will be great if it will work
