esp8266-fastled-webserver VS FastLED

For the ESP8266, I'm using my ESP8266-FastLED-WebServer sketch: https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver

Hi u/BennyPooWohoo - I would highly recommend that you look at u/Pup05’s [Jason Coon] outstanding code for this at:  https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver He also has code for an ESP32 webserver in one of his GitHub repositories.

The code is a modified early version of https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver with various patterns added including this one: https://gist.github.com/StefanPetrick/e6aeee3a7d75ee9f713b0d451fba6607

What code are you running? Using wi-fi? Tried inserting a short delay (not FastLED.delay) in the loop? Tried different combinations of the FastLED interrupt declarations? https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver/blob/main/esp8266-fastled-webserver.ino#L19

That file is definitely in the sketch code here: https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver/blob/main/GradientPalettes.h

Source code: https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver/tree/1628-rings

my ultimate goal is to make a working web server for these rgb panels ."https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver"

I used the examples from here https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Multiple-Controller-Examples

Sweet. Then pretty much any arduino or other microcontroller would take care of what you need. The strips only take one output pin plus power and ground so just about everything will work for driving them. They act like a long shift register so the single pin is all that's needed to load the full strip with whatever patterns you want regardless of the length. You just have to tell it how many LEDs there are in total is all. Check out the FastLED library. You can learn more about it there and/or install the library in the IDE by pressing "ctrl shift I" for windows or "command shift I" for mac and search for it in the upper search area and install it right there. It comes with working examples too so all you would have to do is install the library, load one of the new example sketches that came with it, and probably edit the example to change the NUM_LEDS count to match what you're working with.
