Hi everyone,
I just got my first arduino (Uno) and have been learning the basics for LEDs over the last week. I am for the most part completely new to coding.
Sofar, I have really only implemented some example sketches to start understanding the code and have a handful of successful sketches working on my LED strips, which are APA102C and SK6812, but up to this point its either one or the other, not concurrently in the same sketch.
Ideally they would both work in the same sketch but my question is about feasibility. Is it possible to control multiple chipset types in the same sketch, especially if one contains a clock pin and one does not? For example, 267 x APA102C (data = 2, clock = 3) and 157 x SK6812 (data = 13) on separate serial strands.
I spent a couple of hours searching for a relevant tutorial, video, post, etc. but can't find anything that talks about multiple chipsets in the same sketch. I read through this post which does reference using multiple chipsets in the same sketch, but doesn't provide an example. The next best reference I could find was here, but it is using the same chip on each strand.
So before I invest more time I figured I would ask some of the experts here...
Is my project idea even possible? Can disparate chipsets be mixed in a sketch?
