SK6812 ? Has anyone used the WS2812B clones with FastLED ? Wondering if there are any issues? I’ve read through older posts suggesting to use the 2812 configuration in FastLED. Wanted to see if anyone has actually used them before i order metric ton of them for a project

I received a small order a while back. I hooked them up and tested them. They seemed to work fine with WS2812 code.

@Jason_Coon Super thanks!

No problem! Also, I think @Justin_Eastman has used them in some of his projects.

I was looking for some because they have some 4mm wide strips. As far as I know the protocol is within the same tolerance as WS2812. Never heard of anyone having issues.

These are pretty much all I’ve been using lately. Seem to be less susceptible to interrupts when using an esp8266. I had 2 of the same project but one had sk6812 and the other ws2812. The ws2812 project was acting funky so Daniel suggested disabling interrupts and it fixed the issue.
