kandi X-RAY | FastLED Summary
Wait, what happened to FastSPI_LED and FastSPI_LED2? The library was initially named FastSPI_LED because it was focused on very fast and efficient SPI access. However, since then, the library has expanded to support a number of LED chipsets that don’t use SPI, as well as a number of math and utility functions for LED processing across the board. We decided that the name FastLED more accurately represents the totality of what the library provides, everything fast, for LEDs.

QUESTION
I'm trying to light leds on and off in a loop when I receive data from BT. But when I send "r" through BT the led strip turns ON and OFF and does it in a loop but when I send "b" or "g" or "o" it doesn't change or turn off but keeps looping in first function.
I need a way to stop the " for int" and change to other function.
all functions need to be always in loop until I change it through BT.
Hope you understand.
BT= Bluetooth

Answered 2021-Nov-18 at 10:06You should use the state of your program so that it can continue to test for keypresses, while still blinking the LEDs. Also, don't forget to show()
the updated LEDs, also after a clear()
. For example
QUESTION
I'm fairly new at writing Arduino code and am confused by a block of code.
When executed, a blue dot travels down the LED strip and eventually loops back to the start.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-17 at 19:06The first loop will have leds[0] turn blue, then it will display it on the light strip with FastLED.show(). Next it will make the same leds[0] turn black, however it will only display that in the second iteration of the loop.
The second loop will do the same to leds[1], and so on.

I have 2 different LED Rings. (one has 16 LEDs and the other 24) I want to make an interface from processing IDE where I can select a color and send this color to the selected ring. Here is the arduino code:

Answered 2021-Aug-10 at 21:12Reliable serial communication is not trivial. Ideally you would make you own binary communication protocol setting up a packet of bytes with a header that describes how many following bytes actually have data and perhaps even a checksum.
Strings will do to get started and it's great you're using nf()
to make data easier to parse.
One potential gotcha could be the switch between putting a string together (rgbInput()
) and reading one char at a time (char val = Serial.read();
).
I would recommend breaking the problem down into smaller simpler parts, testing/debugging each part, then putting the parts back together one at a time to avoid integration bugs.
For example, the main challenge seems to be serial communication so I'd write a Processing and Arduino sketch to ensure that works reliably before adding in LED control.
Let's go for the option of \n terminated strings, even though it's sending a redundant extra character(e.g. port.write("2\n");
) it would make buffering simpler:
- always buffer until a newline
trim()
the string for newline- if the trimmed string has length 1 it's a command (like '2', 'l', 't'), otherwise it's a colour triplet
Here's a basic Arduino sketch that uses the ideas above (and a bit of your code ;) ):

I want 10 leds Red and next 10 White, and that repeated until I reach the end of the led string.
This is the worst code, but it works.
What is the right way to do this? Must be very simple, but I can't figure it out

Problems with Receiving
If receiving isn't working, first make sure the Arduino is at least receiving raw codes. > The LED on pin 13 of the Arduino will blink when IR is being received. If not, then there's probably a hardware issue.If the codes are getting received but cannot be decoded, make sure the codes are in one of the supported protocols. If codes should be getting decoded, but are not, some of the measured times are probably not within the 20% tolerance of the expected times. You can print out the minimum and maximum expected values and compare with the raw measured values.
The examples/IRrecvDump sketch will dump out details of the received data. The dump method dumps out these durations but converts them to microseconds, and uses the convention of prefixing a space measurement with a minus sign. This makes it easier to keep the mark and space measurements straight.
IR sensors typically cause the mark to be measured as longer than expected and the space to be shorter than expected. The code extends marks by 100us to account for this (the value MARK_EXCESS). You may need to tweak the expected values or tolerances in this case.
The library does not support simultaneous sending and receiving of codes; transmitting will disable receiving.

QUESTION
I have some simple FastLed & wifi code on my ESP32 module, but I don't want to store my WIFI ssid & password in the code (on github). So i'd like to have that info in a separate file that doesn't get checked into source control but DOES get compiled and loaded onto the ESP32 during the upload process. Is this possible?
I'd imagine I would have a wifi.env.json file or something that is read at compile time, the variables are used in the code in the correct places, and then the compiled code w/ those variables are uploaded to the ESP32.
i'm a web developer and this is a common practice for that community, just curious if it's possible for arudino/ESP32 code also.

QUESTION
I'm looking for a way to pass the template arguments of a template-based class (the main class of the FastLED library on Arduino, to be specific) via the constructor of my own class (which should basically wrap the FastLED library). I want to specify the template arguments necessary to initialize FastLED in the main function, so that all pre-configuration before compiling (i.e. the #define
s in the third code block below) works via constants in the main file. How can I achieve this?
Currently, my class looks like this:

Answered 2020-May-30 at 15:01No. What you want to do is not possible.
Your question is related to this, and the same answer applies.
What you want to do would be achieved by a class template. For instance:
QUESTION
I have bought a WS2812B Led Strip. I'm trying to controll it with a IR remote. it is all controlled by a arduino uno.
I know the leds work and i know the remote works. I'm trying to pre-program a few animations on the remote.
The code below is as far as i got. I can show one animation, but i have to wait until it end to change it to onother one.
Is it possible to interupt this (becouse some animations are infinite) when i push a button to choose another animation?
