Changing Leds ws2801 / Apa102

    For me this causes no problems with about 3m and 60leds/m of apa102 leds.Not recommended are the ws2812(b,c) strips as they require strict timing, that cannot be produced by a multitasking os like linux on the raspberry. They would need additional hardware like an arduino.

    Thanks for the answer :)
    i bought a new apa102 led stripe but no time to test yet :(


    Are you using the level shifter from lightberry ?
    Do you know how the cable of the level shifter is connected ? i mean is the order "+,clk,data,-" or "-,data,clk,+" when you look at the led connector ?



    Thanks !
