5 | This is a capture of data output an LED universes of 50 RGB LEDS. | |
6 | ||
7 | Every universe at full capacity of has a frame size of 768 bytes and can clock | |
8 | out at roughly 100 frames per second. | |

12 | - PRU WS2801 firmware: https://github.com/mranostay/ws28xx-lighting-pru | |

16 | WS2812B protocol overview | |
17 | ------------------------- | |
18 | ||
19 | Each LED receives and the stores the first 24-bits of RGB ordered data then | |
20 | passes any more out the Data Output pin to the next LED in the chain. | |
21 | ||
22 | There is no CS line but latching is done when CLK is held low for >500 uS | |
23 | ||
24 | This functions as a "reverse" shift register and allows the strip length not to | |
25 | be defined in the protocol. | |
