Has anyone out there implemented a teensy using the OCTOWS2811 functionality without using the breakout board? I has 7 led lines and am thinking of using 7 sacrificial WS2812 leds instead of the board to level shift and then just make use of the OCTOWS2811 library to exploit the DMA performance boost. My mind says this should be possible but want to check here in case there is something I am overlooking. I don’t have the space in the project for the breakout board which is driving this need.
I’ve done this before
No problems other than the usual 3.3v shenanigans and workarounds (under volting the leds, sacrificial ws2811’s, etc…)
Ok cool thanks for chiming in… going to drop the power with a diode… just did that recently.
The library is entirely independent of the adapter. You can use the adapter without the library and the library without the adapter.
