WS2812C chip not in fast.led library

acmebigfoot · January 29, 2024, 8:16pm

How do I add code for WS2812C? It doesn't seem to be in fast.led library.

thanks for any help

From what I found the WS2812C is compatible/interchangeable with the WS2812 & WS2812B (reference).

Adafruit NeoPixel Uber Guide. They feature their own library (I don't know how it compares to fast.led) but there's a TON of useful information

Thank you. I dd try adding WS2812(B) but neither would compile.

I will try AdaFruit

Why did you required to add anything? The W2812B support is already in FastLed.
Please insert your code that didn't compile and show the error messages

I was referring to the instruction
FastLED.addLeds

I am running an example from the fast.Led library and changed "WS2812B" to 'WS2812C"

I got this error:

You must not to change it. Just use "WS2812B" as led type:

FastLED.addLeds<WS2812B, DATA_PIN, RGB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);

acmebigfoot · January 30, 2024, 10:29am

Yes. I ran it this way and then with the instruction for WS3812 and the strip did not work.

Does this mean the strip must be faulty?
