Stamp Code For WS2812B

NWCCTV

Are there any plans to write Stamp code for these LED's? I have some Stamps not in use and I have a couple ideas that these would work great with.

The Stamp isn't fast enough to produce the required signals. I think Arduinos can just barely do it.

From the product page:

Additionally, the serial communication protocol the module utilizes relies heavily on strict timing constraints. Thus, the BASIC Stamp module cannot reliably communicate with the WS2812B RGB LED Module.

The BASIC Stamp is not fast enough to create the single-wire signal for the WS2812. The 2-wire (clock and data) WS2801 on the other hand, can be controlled with a BASIC Stamp (using SHIFTOUT). The problem you encounter is memory: each pixel requires three bytes if you want the full color range.

Stick with the Propeller for these guys.

I thought there was a reason there was no code for it. Thanks guys.

Hello!
Oddly enough, partner, I already raised that issue back in November. That's when those amazing boards were first spotted. Incidentally Jon, I either owe you a meal at a special deli in NYC for confirming my problem all over again here, or vice versa where you are.

I have lots of friends (actors) in NYC that have been asking me to come visit. I'll let you know when I'm there -- or if you find yourself in LA, we have a couple good delis, too.

I'm glad I could help.
