I am currently creating a LED based clock, displaying the time with a RGB WS2811 60 LED strip. I first created the clock using a official Arduino Uno and got the basic functionality working nicely. Now with the code working I wanted to use a Arduino Nano v3.0, to hide inside the clock, so I bought what I believe is a clone from ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arduino-Compatible-nano-V3-0-mini-Mega-328-for-Arduino-IDE-New-USB-Cable-/320947858996
However it doesn't control the lights. I have run some basic sketches, such as Blink etc, so I know the board is working.
I have also tested with the example code provided with the FastSPI_LED2 I am using, of which works just fine on the Arduino Uno, but not with the Nano clone. The only difference in the wiring is that on the Arduino Uno I am using pin A1 for the WS2811 LED strip and using A6 on the Nano.
Hope someone might have some experience with this issue... Thanks in advance... Morgan
Hmmm - i'll try to grab one of those clones - it's possible one of the pin mappings is off. Also, I should test with the analog pin mappings, I know they're just #define's the appropriate digital pin, but still..
I'll see if I can squeeze a fix for this into RC3!

There is a link on there to the code. I will be making changes to the code in the coming week, so keep an eyeout for the update. If you add any functionality, be sure to let me know and I will update my code , if appropriate.

No, A6 and A7 simply don't work as digital pins. It's a limitation of the chip, nothing you can do.
