Interesting parallels drawn between a software vs hardware implementation. What sort of added benefits do you see in the hardware-based PSoC implementation?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And oh, there&#39;s a project here that has implemented a similar controller for the WS2811 LEDs on a PSoC 4, and its encapsulated into a nice &#39;component&#39; that you can just drag-and-drop on to your schematic. Thought you&#39;d be interested in taking a look at that too - <a class="jive-link-thread-small" href="https://www.element14.com/community/thread/27131/l/psoc-4-pioneer-kit-community-project100-psoc-4-times-square-led-billboard">PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit Community Project#100 – PSoC 4 Times Square LED Billboard</a></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=17427&AppID=306&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
