Audio visualizer + strip effects simultaneously

Post by noahrowland »

I have a question - I am attempting to execute this project here: http://www.instructables.com/id/LoL-Shi ... m-Arduino/ which is basically your Picollo project. I was wondering if this code can be combined with other LED strip effects - so the visualizer would run on the LED matrix while other strips would update with, say, a larson scanner or color wipe or something similar.

I know the strip.show() event has to be called at each point in the loop, and I assume a similar update process has to occur for the LED matrix at each sample interval. Can these occur at the same time on a single ardunio, or would I be better off with two?

Thanks!
