Using the INTENABLE will not disable a level 14 interrupt. The following snippit will disable/enable it. This brought the errors down to a "glitch" once every minute or two.[quote]

Awesome! Thank you for working on this ... I have been busy lately ... but will be back at it soon ... this level 14 interrupt stuff is perfect ...

I have compiled sfranzyshen's esp8266_tpm2net_ws2812 and am trying to drive it with glediator.

Can anyone tell me how the "artnet/tmp2net patching" works and generally how to get glediator to talk to the ESP?

Thanks,
John

I have been trying different sketches for the Arduino and I keep having the same error in Glediator, "failed to open TPM2net socket". When I start the software and I don't change any settings (IP, universe, etc) it opens and the arduino seems to receive data. there is nothing coming through the WS2812B leds though. After a bit it stops receiving packets and closing and opening socket in Glediator only causes that same errror all the time.

I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Artnet works great but I am looking at a solution to control many more pixels than 512/3. Around 800 pixels with an Arduino Mega.

Is it possible to receive Artnet packets to the same address with different universes and more than one data output?
At the moment I am using Ethernet shield and a router as seems like the ESP8266 will not be able to control such a number.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated
