Opened this issue · 1 comments

because of neopixelbus doesn't work atm I tried the use of adafruit_neopixel.
This worked perfectly. Please bring back support for this lib

my versions:
board package 2.1.0
neopixel: 1.0.4
arduino (cc): 1.6.7

The Adafruit neopixel library does not work well when data is streaming in over WiFi. Since this program makes extensive use of WiFi, it cannot use the Adafruit library. As I recall, it works as long as the pixel sender sends slow updates but fails when the sender send 20-30 frames per second for a string of 64 pixels. Increasing the number of pixels in the string increases the chance of failure.
