WLED control via USB/OpenRGB #3941

Open MARK2580 opened 2 months ago

MARK2580 commented 2 months ago

What happened?

The documentation says that the latest WLED builds support control via Serial Port. I'm trying to connect to WLED via a regular USB cable and feed data to the COM port using the OpenRGB program. When the program starts sending data to the COM port, the WLED interface completely stops working, and sometimes the board simply freezes, only turning off the power helps.

To Reproduce Bug

board - WEMOS D1 mini WLED - 0.15.0-b1 For tests I use pin D2/GPIO4 scr_29_04_2024_12_30_53

Expected Behavior

I expected that WLED would work similarly to, for example, an arduino board with code for working with Adalight.

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

WLED 0.15.0-b1 (build 2403190)

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP8266

Relevant log/trace output

No response

Anything else?

No response

Code of Conduct

WLED supports Adalight protocol and Improv over serial.

EDIT: Adalight should work normally (you can verify if you can see "Ada" displayed over serial). If you have debug build, Adalight might be unavailable.

All I have is an ESP and the OpenRGB program; unfortunately, I am far from programming. 🙄
