Could someone please shed some light on how to go about importing fastLed into AtmelStudio 7? I have been at it all night with no success :slight_smile:

I am able to load other Adruino projects, but following the same procedure with one of the fastLed examples, they all end up with; fastLed.h not found.

I do have a working bitBanging solution for my Adruino M0 Pro (SAMD21G18A) up and running already, but wanted to check if fastLed supports DMA/SPI HW clocking of the WS2812 et. al.

Cheers

FastLED currently doesn’t use DMA/hardware SPI hacks for writing out LED data. On some platforms it wraps around DMA libraries when they’re available (specifically OctoWS2811 on the teensy 3.x).

As for getting the library to be usable inside of Atmel Studio - there are folks here who have done that, and i’ll let them chime in with what they’ve done - it’s not something I put time/work into, mostly because just juggling the variety of hardware platforms supported w/just the arduino IDE takes up enough of my time as it is – supporting a variety of other build/ide environments is outside what I’ve got time/resources for (both in the “getting the code/build environment to work for this” and in the “answering questions from folks trying to use environment $XYZ”)
