Channels... How and When

Yes @wizard, thanks so much! As always, complete, generous, fantastic and wizardly.

I dug this up from an older thread -

@wizard

The new Pixelblaze V3 is on average 2.6X faster, while maintaining the same 5,000/2,500 pixel maximum:

Pixel Count	FPS	Possible Applications
100	300-600+	Extremely fast/smooth animations, special effects, POV (persistence of vision)
1000	30-65+	Beautifuly smooth animations
5000	6-13+	Gradual animations, fading backgrounds, ambiance

The buffered neopixel designation in setup is not available in the V3 front end. That designation makes things run much faster on the V2 at least. Is there a reason for this?

I’m assuming that with computationally intensive code things slow down (?)

Thanks again!
