Hi All,
I'm looking for a library for controlling WS2811 led strip. I tried with FastLED but it seems to be too complex and lack of some functions what I need. My purpose is just change of color and making some effects and having ability to change speed of effects. Anyone knows other library which is suitable for my purpose. Thanks in advance.
Really, FastLED...
What did you find complex?
And what on earth can you miss in a library like that? You can set every pixel in RGB and HSV and is as fast as it can possible get.

Can't explain exactly but I felt diffecult to use it.
CrossRoads:
Try the Neopixel library from Adafruit.com
Thank you. I'll try
What’s difficult about it?
In my opinion THE most complete library to drive pixels. Especially the implementation of HSV which is the best way to control the color is great and most other libraries lack that.

- Include library
- Make a CRGB object per led
- add that to FastLED (FastLED.addLeds<>())
- Set the leds (via CRGB objects) whatever color you want in every why you possible want (all, RGB, HSV, presets etc)
- call FastLED.show() to output it
- repeat from 4 to make effects

The difficult is that the library is not ideal for me, I’m trouble to customize to fulfil my purpose. Anyway, this library still is comprehensive and so good. Thanks
Why on earth are you trying to do then?????
TRY Adafruit_NeoPixel

Well, that's an original comment!
Seeing it was already posted by CrossRoads three years ago - when this thread actually concluded. 
There's a lesson here.
