LED not turning on

[weiying-chen]

I tried the crate like this with my ESP32-C3-Zero:

use anyhow::Result;
use esp_idf_hal::delay::FreeRtos;
use esp_idf_hal::peripherals::Peripherals;
use esp_idf_svc::log::EspLogger;
use esp_idf_sys::{self as _};
use smart_leds_trait::{SmartLedsWrite, RGB8};
use ws2812_esp32_rmt_driver::Ws2812Esp32Rmt;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    esp_idf_svc::sys::link_patches();
    EspLogger::initialize_default();

    let peripherals = Peripherals::take()?;
    let led_pin = peripherals.pins.gpio10; // Assuming GPIO10 is used for the LED data pin

    println!("Initializing WS2812 LED strip");

    let channel = peripherals.rmt.channel0;
    let mut ws2812 = Ws2812Esp32Rmt::new(channel, led_pin).unwrap();

    // Define a single LED color
    let color = RGB8 { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 }; // Red color

    loop {
        // Write the color to the LED strip
        ws2812.write([color].iter().cloned()).unwrap();

        // Add a delay to keep the color on for a while
        FreeRtos::delay_ms(1000);

        // Turn off the LED
        ws2812
            .write([RGB8 { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 }].iter().cloned())
            .unwrap();

        // Add a delay before the next loop iteration
        FreeRtos::delay_ms(1000);
    }
}

The code compiles, but the LED is not turning on.

I also tried this:

use anyhow::Result;
use esp_idf_hal::delay::FreeRtos;
use esp_idf_hal::peripherals::Peripherals;
use esp_idf_svc::log::EspLogger;
use esp_idf_sys::{self as _};
use log::info;
use smart_leds_trait::{SmartLedsWrite, RGB8};
use ws2812_esp32_rmt_driver::Ws2812Esp32Rmt;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    esp_idf_svc::sys::link_patches();
    EspLogger::initialize_default();

    let peripherals = Peripherals::take()?;
    let led_pin = peripherals.pins.gpio10; // Assuming GPIO10 is used for the LED data pin

    println!("Initializing WS2812 LED strip");

    let channel = peripherals.rmt.channel0;
    let mut ws2812 = Ws2812Esp32Rmt::new(channel, led_pin).unwrap();

    // Define an array of LED colors
    let mut leds = vec![RGB8 { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 }; 8]; // 8 LEDs initialized to off

    loop {
        info!("Turn ON");
        // Set the color of all LEDs to red
        for led in leds.iter_mut() {
            *led = RGB8 { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 };
        }
        ws2812.write(leds.iter().cloned()).unwrap();

        // Add a delay to keep the color on for a while
        FreeRtos::delay_ms(1000);

        info!("Turn OFF");
        // Turn off all LEDs
        for led in leds.iter_mut() {
            *led = RGB8 { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 };
        }
        ws2812.write(leds.iter().cloned()).unwrap();

        // Add a delay before the next loop iteration
        FreeRtos::delay_ms(1000);
    }
}

Same: No errors. But the LED doesn't turn on.

Ah, I found out it works with an external WS2812. So it doesn't work with the built-in WS2812 of the ESP32-C3-Zero for some reason.
