wxhat is your version of FastLEd ?

sorry V3.0.3, your hadware is not official Arduino, try to post issue on FastLEd repo. maybe Dev can help. and try to resolve the issue[/USER]

Yeah, both of my Arduini (whihi) have something other than FTDI as serial chip, namely CH340. I think that might be the problem.

While i build a ambilight system like this for a friend of mine i was using an arduino nano clone which also had a CH340 chip instead of a FTDI. While i did have some problems with this board because the CH340 (and the ftdi btw) only support up to 115200 baud, i did not have any problems like you described. The scetch is a bit different, but still uses FastLED. http://pastebin.com/zhQCRFhd

So not sure if the CH340 actually is the problem .

I use Lightpack with AmbiBox and Prismatik...but this idea looks better with digital LED strip, without any delays, configurations etc:
