Running FastLED on the Dual-Core ESP32

Building the FastLED solution with Platform.IO to run on the ESP32

FastLED Package

There are many projects posted over the web which implement the excellent FastLED library on the ESP12 processor; however locating a project which implements this on the more powerful sibling is a lot more difficult.

So, with a few failed attempts and a lot of patching samples together; I have a stable running implementation which you can clone or fork to get up and running quickly with your own projects.

The sample includes 2 different sequences, a simple moving dot; and a more colorful Cylon effect.

The code is complied within Visual Studio Code; with the Platform.IO environment; and includes a working settings file while will automatically install the required libraries, ready to compile and flash to your device.

Check out the repo on GitHub @ https://github.com/DamianFlynn/ESP32FastLED; and if you have issues please use the tracker.

Enjoy
