Being new, I used the search and was able to find several post where Arduino and 40X2 but no mention of the 08M2.
This will be my first attempt with Picaxe chips doing this but using a Raspberry Pi, I was able to drive a 120 LEDs from one pin by sending a string out the TRX pin. The 08M2 has the C.5 that is suppose to do the same, best that I recall.
Before I frustrate myself, can the 08M2 run a string of WS2812B?
What I mean by running is; have the LEDs look like they are chasing or bouncing back and forth as well as randomly changing colors. This will mostly be used to catch attention, similar to marque lights.
Here is a link to a pretty good discussion for a 40X2. If a 08M2 will work, I'll start the conversion.
