GPIO vs arduino

    Good day Folks!

    Just wondering what's the better solution for SK6812 ?
    Should I start thinking about additional piece of hardware like like arduino to drive my leds?
    Im asking coz on my end black bar detection is rather slow so I was wondering if arduino can help with that?


    Regards! :)

    Arduino is not a good choice, not enough power (CPU, RAM).

    For SK6812 RGBW, ESP32 and WLED is more suitable.

    Got WLED, even three pieces.

    I noticed that some home builds contain arduino with adafruit script or something like that.

    I wonder what is it for?

    After all, the led strip can be controlled via gpio.

    With USB Serial, WLED uses the arduino protocol, but the baud rate is limited. Higher baud rates can be used with Hyperserial.
