Nice update.

I ran into a lot of memory issues with my Arduino (Freetronics EtherTen) kitchen LED strip controller also. After adding the libraries for Ethernet, MQTT, and FastLED there wasn't much left. I ended up just stripping down functionality. I think what else I could do would be like you suggested and use different libraries - i.e. drop MQTT and just use ethernet packets prepared elsewhere.

Nice update on your design challenge project. Easy things do get complex very quickly and then take quite a bit effort to sort out and get them working.

Good job on push through and good luck going forward!

Hi Doug,

Thanks for taking us through the difficult parts so we can learn better.

Hi Dough, maybe I lost in the steps. Where has gone the second display?

Anywa if I where you, I left the eye boinking on a single display arranging the other side like a eye band. Then a good name IMO can be micro pirate
