Finally took the plunge upgrading to Arduino IDE 1.0.6 and FastLED3.1. Even under Ubuntu with gcc 4.8.2 everything worked without a hitch with nothing more than a recompile.

Thanks for the field report!

Anything I should be watching out for or should I go full-on and try using a rotary encoder via interrupts? :slight_smile:

Well. If you’re going the interrupt route, I think you’ll want to be on an ARM-based system (vs AVR). Either that or be prepared to write some very tight ISRs… But I have the feeling you may be able to pull it off if you’re careful…

Interrupts on the 3.1 branch are now disabled by default for AVR at the moment because the arduino interrupt for the systick timer blows out the gap for ws2812s, which means you’d never be able to write more than ~30 leds :slight_smile:

If you’re on a teensy 2 I will eventually re-enable them because Paul fixed that :slight_smile:
