Using Mbi6033 with WLED (Blinking and Empty Data problem) #3256

Open seyfettinkazanir opened 1 year ago

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

I want to control led strips thanks to WLED with mbi6033, a chip that was added to the NPB library some time ago.

It is a chip that uses mbi6033 dta+clk, added to the neopixelbus library. I’ve come to a certain point by making some changes to the wled code. But I can’t solve flickering and empty color bytes.

mbi6033 asks for header information first and then uses 48 bit color. In the form of G 16 + B16 + R16. However, the first large byte of this 16-bit is always empty. I added in the picture.

The method we used in the bus_wrapper section was added this way. #define B_HS_DOT_3 NeoPixelBusLg<NeoRbg48Feature, Mbi6033Method, NeoGammaNullMethod>

The data shown in the image below represent: Color = White , brightness = full (from wled control panel) 16bit4 white data

The data shown in the image below represent: single color, full brightness 16bit3

Some time is 2 days as of this writing. 😀 It will not make it into WLED until new NeoPixelBus is released. And even then it may take time. You may accelerate the process by sending sample LED strip.

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

Are you talking about sending a physical led strip? I meant as sample led.

blazoncek commented 1 year ago

yes

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

@blazoncek I want to send led strip prepared with mbi6033, how should I do? Where do I need to send it, can you send an address?

blazoncek commented 1 year ago

I am currently too busy to tackle this implementation. Perhaps @softhack007 or @Aircoookie are willing to take on the challenge?

If not, you are still free to implement additional LED chip support in your fork and make a PR upstream. You will need to update (at least) the following files:

As a base take UCS890x support.

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

I would be very grateful if anyone can help. I may need all the help. I can send in physical led strip if needed.

I tried to make the edits you mentioned. It's a little dim but I couldn't figure out the flickering. I edited it a bit with the mbi6033method prepared in the NPB library. Would it be helpful in terms of help if I stated the edits I made here?

softhack007 commented 1 year ago

I could take it, but not this month - mid July would be earliest possible for me to start thinking about a solution.

Actually there is a known bug in NeoPixelBus regarding 16bit byte ordering ("endianness") that is only solved in the dev branch of makuna. So it would be smart to wait until a new NPB release is availeable.

softhack007 commented 1 year ago

I've seen several people reporting unexpected behaviour of the brightness limiter in latest WLED. Maybe this also causes the flickering you experience?

I guess it looks like a new NPB version is available. https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/releases/tag/2.7.6

Would you have time to add the Mbi6033 if it won't tire you out?

Last NPB update caused headaches we are still recovering from. :)

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

@blazoncek Still developing headaches with NPB latest update? I wanted to ask if it's the right time to work on the mbi6033.

blazoncek commented 1 year ago

Let's say it is scheduled for 0.15 release. Ok? 😄

seyfettinkazanir commented 1 year ago

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

Greetings, have you had the opportunity to do any work on the Mbi6033? This product excites me a lot. I'm looking forward to your news. Could a schedule be specified for 0.15 release?

Could a schedule be specified for 0.15 release?

Considering that all developers are doing WLED in their spare time (hobby), it's very hard to give any dates. 😉 "it's ready once we consider it well-done".

I think all we can say today is

seyfettinkazanir commented 7 months ago

Hello, has there been any progress regarding mbi6033 for 15.0? We look forward to any developments in this regard.

@softhack007 @blazoncek

blazoncek commented 7 months ago

No. But you can submit PR. 0.15 as of now uses NePixelBus 2.7.8 which is the latest release available ATM.
