Some updates on the WS2811 led mapped letters project.

I got them mapped, thanks to @jasoncoon 's amazing pixel mapper tool and advice on splitting up the pins, (each letter is on its own pin now).

Its a little jittery. I lowered the FPS from 120 to 40, and removed all the delays in the loop which helped, (using the fastLED library with arduino), but there still seems to be something giving it the jitters.

Pushing about 760 LEDs, and using an Adafruit feather M4.

I may try taking out some print statements I added in the loop for debugging earlier.

Totally open to suggestions though, and happy to share my code.

Hey @jasoncoon ,

Have you ever controlled 800 or so WS2811 LEDs with your pixel mapper? We edge lit wrapped all these letters at work and I wanna map em so I can make em rainbow fade from top to bottom.

Sure the fastled strip effects are cool, but I really wanna get the pixels mapped for more neat things. I figure with 8mb of ram, the RP2040 or M4 #Adafruit feathers might be nice?

Programming is fun :)
