Review on Enhance Teensy 3.2 with OctoWS2811 Adaptor: A Complete Solution for Ultimate LED Control by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow, the most useful Teensy adapter

In the past it was difficult to install LED strips efficiently. This adapter makes life much easier and more enjoyable.

Pros
  • This adapter board connects Teensy 3.2 to thousands of LEDs using the OctoWS2811 library. The adapter is equipped with a 74HCT245 buffer chip and 100 ohm termination resistors. A CAT6 Ethernet cable is used from this board to the LED strips. The CAT6 cable is designed for a very wide bandwidth, minimal crosstalk between twisted pairs and an impedance of 100 ohms for a very high signal quality. RJ-45 network connectors make it easy to separate the LED matrix from the electronics.
Cons
  • Only available in white
