ESP8266 NeoPixel WS2812 which library?

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing
1

I tried different WS2812B Neopixel Libraries to compile the example script. But none works.
Adafruit Neopixel, WS2812fx Library, Octo2811 Library ...

The example code cannot be compiled for any of them when ESP8266 is selected.

It doesn't matter if I'm using Arduion 1.8.19 or 2.0.1

Each example script does not compile and gives an abort.

Which Neopixel WS2818 Lib works ?

I'm currently working on an ESP8266 with the Adafruit Neopixel Library - works as expected.

Your code or your wiring is false.
You haven't posted neither - so we just can guess.
Also missing is the detailed error message you get.

code: example -> Arduino Neopixel -> simple
wiring: USB cable to WEMOS D1
Error: the example script cannot be compiled
so I don't have a file.bin for upload to ESP
If I don't have a program on the ESP, the wiring doesn't help either.

Then what did I do?

  • Arduino closed
  • Folder Arduino renamed
  • Arduino 2.0.1 launched
  • reinstalled all required libraries

now I am able to create and upload a FILE.bin

now the LED is flashing
I haven't changed the code (Example form Neopixel) and wiring

Thanks

I use Neopixel Bus in DMA mode and it works fine. Do you have an esp8266 variant selected as your board type?
