Dividing LEDs into different groups

[DaveX]

There's some tricks in:

Multiple Controller Examples

Edit: Oops, I thought that covered the CPixelView stuff, which enables using subsets of an LED array as a virtual array.

Another trick is to use the CPixelView class from the FastLED library. It allows you to "break" a single physical LED strip into multiple logical strips. The library handles the index offsets for you. Let say you have 25 LEDs total and want the first logical strip to access physical LEDs 0-5 and the second logical strip to access physical LEDs 6-24: #include <Arduino.h> #include <FastLED.h> const uint8_t ledCount = 25; const uint8_t startGroup0 = 0; const uint8_t lengthGroup0 = 6; const uint…
