Required Connections -------------------- pin 2: LED Strip #1 OctoWS2811 drives 8 LED Strips. pin 14: LED strip #2 All 8 are the same length. pin 7: LED strip #3 pin 8: LED strip #4 A 100 to 220 ohm resistor should used pin 6: LED strip #5 between each Teensy pin and the pin 20: LED strip #6 wire to the LED strip, to minimize pin 21: LED strip #7 high frequency ringining & noise. pin 5: LED strip #8 pin 15 & 16 - Connect together, but do not use pin 4: Do not use pin 3: Do not use as PWM. Normal use is ok. pin 12: Frame Sync When using more than 1 Teensy to display a video image, connect the Frame Sync signal between every board. All boards will synchronize their WS2811 update using this signal. Beware of image distortion from long LED strip lengths. During the WS2811 update, the LEDs update in sequence, not all at the same instant! The first pixel updates after 30 microseconds, the second pixel after 60 us, and so on. A strip of 120 LEDs updates in 3.6 ms, which is 10.8% of a 30 Hz video frame time. Doubling the strip length to 240 LEDs increases the lag to 21.6% of a video frame. For best results, use shorter length strips. Multiple boards linked by the frame sync signal provides superior video timing accuracy. A Multi-TT USB hub should be used if 2 or more Teensy boards are connected. The Multi-TT feature allows proper USB bandwidth allocation. Single-TT hubs, or direct connection to multiple ports on the same motherboard, may give poor performance. */ #include // The actual arrangement of the LEDs connected to this Teensy 3.0 board. // LED_HEIGHT *must* be a multiple of 8.
