Code for your NeoMatrix Array (Neopixel/WS2812B based, or other LEDs)

Howdy,

If you have a neopixel matrix, you probably know

but if you want to do much more, you'll want the FastLED version I wrote:
FastLED_NeoMatrix
this is especially true if your matrix is based off pixels other than neopixel.

I just wrote a lot of code for it.
While FastLED_NeoMatrix/examples/MatrixGFXDemo at master · marcmerlin/FastLED_NeoMatrix · GitHub
is the same code that works on any other Adafruit GFX backend, you can do a lot more.

  • fontzoom is a nice font zoom demo
    demo1 demo2

  • on ESP8266, espgifread will display animated gifs stored in flash (should also work on ESP32, and can work on other chips if you use an sdcard and change the filesystem read code)

  • Aurora has super nice demos you can see here demo

and there are more here: NO_GFX

However, for even more cool demos, you can steal my code from NeoMatrix-FastLED-IR
Why? Because [because you might want a shirt like this](Neopixel/NeoMatrix (with FastLED) Party Shirt Demo - YouTube and Marc's Blog: arduino - EDM Party Shirt powered with FastLED::NeoMatrix and Adafruit::GFX, plus 160Wh (10Ah/4S) worth of lipos)

Hope this helps someone :slight_smile:

Oh great, yet another way to do markup without detection of URLs... Anyway, done.

As for the amount of code, I'm glad you reviewed the code, found out what I had to write, and what I was able to reuse from other people's work, because why rewrite what's already been written, and how much shorter what I wrote could have been if written by a better programmer :slight_smile:

Your code is well formatted with testing stripes. I need your little help, I'm using 16x16 WS2812B and i only need gif player simply. Rest i will do by myself, actually i will write code to manage and manipulate data in gif player.

Can you help?
