- Sun Mar 01, 2015 5:03 pm #11056 Still no testing of the WS2801 driver

At this point I am either going to need to purchase a strand of ws2801's ... OR ... I am willing to send anyone with a strand of ws2801's a free esp-01 module (I only have one!) for testing ... and I guess I would need to be trusting that you actually had the ws2801's ... how could we verify this?

... just an idea

- Sun Mar 01, 2015 10:05 pm #11065 I have started to look at porting (bitbang) arduino LPD8806 code over to the esp8266 due to the success we had with popsodav's adafruit lpd6803 port ...

I have found several (bit bang) arduino drivers in the wild;
https://github.com/wyager/LEDStrip
https://github.com/leoaltmann/lpd8806
https://github.com/nsthorat/LPD8806-bitbang-only
https://github.com/doublejosh/Simple_LPD8806

the original (hardware/software spi) adafruit code;
https://github.com/adafruit/LPD8806

ways to speed up the adafruit code;

http://michaelnoland.com/speeding-up-lp ... dware-spi/

even a javascript port of the adafruit code;
https://github.com/slootsky/JS-Node-LPD8806

any input is welcome ... I will start the port sometime next week ...

looks like we will have pca9685 and apa102 support to add to our list ... as well as an alternative method (using the uart) to drive the ws2801 & ws281x chipsets ... interesting

New code for LPD6803 I will test tomorrow then you'll write how it works. Here is the updated code is added there web configuration default IP address is 192.168.1.1
