Individual addressable lights that came with the kickstarter package works on 6400000 about espruinodocs HOT 5 CLOSED

More on this issue can also be found on http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/493/ . It seems that some work with 64, others with 32. The main problem is that some of the documentation on these lights suggest that you should double the rate, while other parts of the documentation (on other pages) does not.

There also appears to be a problem with all LEDs turning white, but I am wondering whether this has more to do with the regression bug in the array access.

PS: this is a general comment w.r.t. the documentation. There is a lot of information in there, but it is all very hard to find ... . the structure isn't that clear and there is now good "flow" to find the information you are looking for.

This is definitely with the Espruino board and lights?

I'll add something to the docs. All LEDs turning while could be an issue with trying to maintain 6400000 baud without gaps I guess - but apart from the occasional white flicker you can set the LED colours correctly?

My lights are working at 32. All colours can be set correctly.

That's weird, I definitely have the kickstarter Espruino + lights kit. I had the problem with lights turning white when I tried 32 and 16.

With 64 I can set them all at any color I want, and I haven't noticed any flickering. Had much fun with them the last couple of days!

For example, I created this at 64 https://gist.github.com/nielsdoorn/8631319

Could you actually try connecting your lights to B15 and using SPI2 as in the examples? It looks to me like this is actually a problem with the clock speed on SPI1 (rather than the lights).

I'd specifically added some code recently to fix the clock speed issue, but it looks like there was a typo in it!

Thanks for posting the code up, the effect looks really nice :) When I sort out the SPI baud rate issue, could you post it on the forum? It'd be good to have some stuff there for others to see.
