[QUOTE="kdschlosser, post: 1132197, member: 151614"] atmowin ---> ambibox ----> Serial over IP ----> that 5 dollar wifi card (ESP8266) ----> Arduino. 400 or so lines of code to get the ESP8266 running properly, with auto reconnect features and all. soft serial also supported for debug using another Arduino to capture the data. I am sure if I spent more time since the ESP8266 does allow 4 connections I could seperate the streams and allow debugging over wifi also. This is with an Arduino Uno and also works with an Arduino Mega 2560 The code is rough right now. I am sure i can slim it out a lot. in the future maybe. and I know that this thing isn't even using the full potential of that wificard when the card is in bitbang mode. I have seen the datastream that can come through over wifi. and what ambibox is sending isn't even close to the same speed or amount of data. don't know why it was made to stream like that tho. all those \r\n time consuming and occupies bandwidth. should have been shot as one line for all LED's even with if you figure 2 extra bytes per led. and 256 addressable strings. I have not even a clue what the maximum led's per string is. and i don't know why the stream is analog also. even if the LED doesn't change it's sending data for it. I can see where this might not run fast enough. if you have a whole heap of LED's. a lot of wasted processing and bandwidth. see how it will run after i get the screen in and a couple hundred LED's well it works. just strange how it was done.
