First of all: which version do you use? Second there is a saving delay of about 3 seconds. If you reset your device to early it will not save.
Mhh.. I'm not exactly sure which version, I downloaded the zipped sources on October 9th and compiled these. I had a look in the web ui and in some source files, unfortunately I couldn't find a version string to tell you, but I hope "11 days old" is ok? o)
Yes, of course I waited some time before removing power and putting it back. Just tried again to make sure, but no. It'll always start with 50 leds and 100% red. (notice it's 50 leds (the default?) not 60 as in my first post).
Could it be the controller (or the 8285 esp on there) I bought does not support spiffs (this storage space thing)?. My knowlegde about the esp's is little right now, but I started reading and was looking through the code, somewhere I read eprom vs. spiffs usage. Does it make sense to look into this direction?
On the other hand, if ML is able to save wifi-settings successfully, why would it not save the led count and colors, so it's probably not related to the storage used, but this is just guessing of course. I had another quick test, the mqtt-server ip is not saved either.
Thank you! o)
Please use http://yourdeviceip/esp_status then you will get a version string and more. If you have no spiffs, saving will not work! after version 2.2.7. In version 2.2.7 you have to change
to
Try this setting
Hi bpohvoodoo, thank you for your support! o) Your advice helped me to make some progress! o)
I cloned the repo once again and compiled/uploaded via platformio this time (I just used esptool.py before). Now I'm using 2.2.7, I did not change any definitions and changing the led count seems to be persistent now. Power-cycling the controller does not bring up defaults anymore. So this is good! o)
I'm still confused, because then I set the correct button-pin in the definition, to be able to use the physical button on the controller. When I press the button, the led-strip will turn off, pressing it again will not bring up the last state/color of the strip, it will always be white and "static" mode. Is this expected behaviour? I would expect the button to work the same as power-cycling the controller.
Thanks again!
ps: I did not use ArduinoIDE yet, I'm just making my first steps with all this and was happy that I got PlatformIO working recently. Although I don't seem to like the VSCode+PlatformIO bloat at all. If I experience further issues or you really suggest sticking to ArduinoIDE I will go for that! o)
It's me again! o)
I had a look through the code to see what happens when the button is pressed. All is clear now, button presses are "hard wired" to pre-defined states. So it seems everything is working as designed, which is not necessarily as expected by me, but no problem! o)
I have learned something, thank you! o)
Hi there! o)
McLighting does not save led-count and the effect-state for me, maybe you have an idea why?
I compiled the nodemcu version and flashed it onto this pre-made SP501E controller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33018042195.html
Initial wifi-setup in ap-mode worked fine, then I configured led-count to 120 and color to white 100% via the web-interface, then used the "save settings" button. After powering down and powering up the controller, the previous wifi connection and its setting is re-established fine, but the led-count is back to 60 and color is set to red 100%.
I'm using a GRBW SK6812 strip, powersupply is 5v@4amps, voltage is stable even if R+G+B+W is at 100%.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to tackle this problem. Thank you in advance and have a nice day! o)
