improving performance on very long led strips

Post by raybuay@hotmail.com »

is there a tip or correct method to run more than 600 neopixels without
problems?. when going over 300, it begins to perform chunky.
any advice is deeply appreciated. i'm running on artnet neopixel sketch
using 6 universes on 1 IP

cheers

I'm Using the latest version
Also i'm experiencing a really frustrating situation
where the program does not seem to be saving
the latest key shortcut settings i place in.
I have tried everything from switching sessions
to assigning to different cues but nothing.
Resolume does not seem to be saving the latests shortcut keys
settings

thanks for the help

6 universes output from Resolume should be smooth, unless you turned the output frame rate down.

Try checking the output with ArtNetominator, to narrow the issue down.

To the shortcut issue I replied here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18738

Ok, Thanks!
I will check artnetominator!

testing and trying different things i discover that using the esp8266
does not give me this problem! it only happens when
using arduino megas with ethershields. i can only run 2 universes
smoothly with those. i have't figure out why.

cheers!
