Thanks for the reply!
Of course, I should have expected some friction on very hardware specific libraries like this, and I am just trying to navigate out of it.
The rub is I am only using a single one of the giant 8mm neopixels adafruit sells - so a lot of FastLED’s power is wasted here, and I could easily use the neopixels library (which appears to be updated for the Pi) - however, the project that I am moving from a photon to a Pi uses HSV color fades.
My current line of thinking is to replace FastLED with the Neopixels library, and figure out a way to do the HSV fade math myself, instead of relying on FastLED. I have done some RGB/HSV math before though, and it’s pretty brain hurty, so I’m hoping to find some ready made code for that.
I will look forward to the changes to the library system, but will see if I can find an immediate workaround for this little hiccup.
Thanks!
