@drewandre I have only used the HiLetgo ESP-WROOM-32 ESP-32S. Try asking on the FastLED Reddit group as many more will see your question and hopefully someone there can help. http://fastled.io/r
When working with 8bit math for noise + palette style animations, I see a lot of harsh jumps between colors especially at low brightnesses. I know this has been discussed before, so what keywords/general topics should I try searching for? should I look for a noise16 implementation? or is it the ws2812b chipset? should I try to blur more or maybe use a combo of additive color setting + fade to black? any pointers would help!
@drewandre The harsh jumps when brightness is scaled down is a downside of working with 8bit. Something that had 64 steps for example, which is scaled down to 25% suddenly only has 16 steps. This is another good question/discussion for the Reddit group if you don't mind asking there.
i developing free gui software to create pixel effect. Zero coding, just use effect video to auto create a effect txt file. tested with attiny85 8mhz total 1000 ws2812b. Since the output in txt file, then can put it in flash memory. RAM not a issue. Also can use for any arduino, raspberry Pi, or any microcontroller. I would like to integrate with fastled for auto generate the ino file together with the effect. i looking for mr. kriegsman the fastled creator
Sounds cool @vasan25 Please feel free to share what you are working on or questions about integrating things with the FastLED Reddit group. http://fastled.io/r
I'm trying to figure out what would be the best course of action for adding support for these https://www.superlightingled.com/tm1812-dc1224v-rgbcct-5in1-rgbww-series-flexible-addressable-led-strip-lights-programmable-pixel-full-color-chasing-300leds-164ft-per-reel-by-sale-p-2426.html
They are 5 channel RGBCCT LEDs using a 12 channel RGB controller
@Applepi I see you opened an issue on git hub, thank you, it's good to document these support requests and have a place for future discussion there. You're right, it's non-trivial! Eventually adding support for more then three channels and other additions is part of the plan but there's no specifics of when that will happen at this time.
So would the hacky solution for now to be to treat every other pixel as the 2nd color channel? Since the first RGB on the controller (might be RGB I'm not sure I don't have the LEDs yet) and the 2nd RGB LED as the two white channels ( WW CW and NC) or whatever variation that they are wired up.
https://i.imgur.com/hcowuFW.png hard to tell from the images I can find of the strip but it doesn't look they are wired in an easy to parse manner :(
But just lloking at where the Red traces go, it doesn't match up with any possible route for RED pins on the TM1812
static const void portAddr() { return (void)&__t_baseType::r(); } };
to:
static const void portAddr() { return (void)&__t_baseType::r; } };
to even get it to compile...
Good question! Would you mind opening a new issue and reporting what you ran into on github? https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/issues
@Hackswell Thank you
I'm just so new to the project and thought a chat would be first before declaring it a bug.
At least I got it to compile now on STM32F4xx! Now.... to get it to work. ;)
New ticket, or add to #921?
No worries. It will either hopefully be explained by someone there, or will be useful to improving things. :)
Why don't you add to #921
Why don't you add to #921
What's weird is that _FL_DEFINE_PORT is just fine with r() but _FL_DEFINE_PORT3 isn't. Weird dark #define and C++ majick.
@MartyMacGyver hello Marty, my observations here is it's not very active. In fact I often encourage people to go to the Reddit group were lots more people will see posts. Dan used to answer some technical stuff here, but alas no more. :( If you're tackling library issues then I would suggest using GitHub so bugs/fixes can be officially kept track of. If you have broader questions for Teensy 4 users then I'd point you back to Reddit.
I went through and did a code format cleanup of the code base (otherwise it's a bit painful to read and edit the code). Other PR is to get doxygen updated and generate current docs (site is still on 3.1)
Teensy 4.x was WIP so I'm trying to understand how he set it all up, and make it work more like other controllers (at least from the user's perspective... Right now it's a bit of a special snowflake and that's why some things don't work quite right with it.
Hi guys I'm a student currently in 2nd Semester of Programming. My friend ask me to help with her arduino project in which its utilize LED. She bought a non RGB LED strip (she said). Can FastLED be used for it?
Sorry I just can't seem to find a quick answer by googling or reading since its pretty new for me and making a reddit thread is kinda too much for simple question like this.
Thanks
