Can't get anything but lightning to work, not even the demo

Hey there,

I'm using your library on an Arduino Pro Micro clone, and it seems to be crashing the system so hard that USB/Serial stops working.

Any idea what's going on? Thanks!

My first thought would be it's running out of memory since from what I can tell the Micro comes with relatively little. If it's not that I wouldn't be sure without getting one of the same boards. Is the Micro the only device you've tested on? Did you try a sketch with only one or two patterns?

Hey brimshot, thanks for the quick response! Yes I have only tried this on and arduino pro micro. I'm a little surprised it would be crashing if it were trying to allocate more memory, aren't there null pointer checks after allocation?

Yeah, I successfully used the lightning pattern, but adding any others like the rainbow pattern whether in addition or solo, would result in a crash.

What do you think?

Hi there, any forensic info to share yet?
