WS2812FX error on compiling for ESP8266 and Arduino #6

Closed questuk closed 7 years ago

questuk commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I have been trying to get your WS2812FX working with my ESP8266, but i get errors on compile ?

I am using: name=Adafruit NeoPixel version=1.0.6 ESP8266 using Arduino 1.6.5 (Reluctant to update this as Adafruit_NeoPixel works with all my other projects)

Regards

Gaz

If you don't want to update, try adding #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> to the beginning of your code file. See: https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX/issues/5 Let me know, if it helps.

Hi,

Thanks for replying, here are the results. Thanks Gaz

If i try to compile your example serial_control. I get the following:

Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, Serial, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

In file included from serial_control.ino:1:0: G:\DATA\Software - Data\Arduino_Sketchbooks\Sketchbook + PubSubClient V2.3\libraries\WS2812FX-master/WS2812FX.h:55:31: fatal error: Adafruit_NeoPixel.h: No such file or directory

include 

                           ^

compilation terminated. Error compiling.

If I then add as you suggest #include at the start of the ino sketch it DOES compile !

I then tried your other example esp8266_webinterface and again as you suggest #include at the start of the ino sketch it does NOT compile ?

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WS2812FX.h>

#include "index.html.h"
#include "main.js.h"`

Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, Serial, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

Do you have the latest ESP8266WebServer lib installed? https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266WebServer

questuk commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Mine is dated 23/7/15

I did try and replace that with the one you pointed at but still got errors

Regards

Gaz

kitesurfer1404 commented 7 years ago

I'll try to find out the details after 01/01/2017 or maybe I can find someone at #33c3 to help out with it. Stay tuned.

kitesurfer1404 commented 7 years ago

I had some time and wanted to investigate this issue further. I tested the examples with Arduino IDE 1.8.0 and version 2.3.0 of the Arduino Board Code from https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

'modes_setup' was not declared in this scope that's strange, because it is defined in the example itself.

Please try to move the setup() and loop() to the bottom of the example. Maybe your compiler needs the functions defined before they are called the first time in the code. Can't remember, if this was an issue with older Arduino IDEs.

Hi,

I tried the above and got

I think I can not help any further. I installed a fresh Arduino IDE on a machine that has never seen Arduino before with all needed libs in their current versions and did not get any errors. I'm going to label this as "help wanted". Maybe someone else can help you. I'm sorry I cannot resolve this issue now.

questuk commented 7 years ago

OK thanks for your help, I wll upgrade to the latest Arduino IDE at some stage, then I am sure it will work !

Just one last question which version of Arduino IDE did you install on the PC that had never seen Arduino?

Thanks

kitesurfer1404 commented 7 years ago

I used 1.8.0 (Linux 64 Bit) of Arduino, I followed https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/ and added http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json to the IDE, updated the packages and installed the ESP8266 Board stuff.

questuk commented 7 years ago

Hi Kitesurfer,

Just to update on this i installed Arduino 1.8.0 and everything went fine, now all working, you created a great project !

The one thing I wanted and didn't realize it didn't have in it's effects, was a 'candle flicker effect' . As you know your code much better than I can ever do, would it be possible for you to add it to your code ?

I don't mind if its just some code I have to add to the WS2812FX.h just for me, or if you feel it would be useful for others include it in your project.

I can test it for you , no problem.

Thanks

Regards

Gaz

kitesurfer1404 commented 7 years ago

Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I'm going to close this issue.

There is a candle flicker effect in a pull request. You might want to try that out and give some feedback. I had not time to test it, yet. I'm going to integrate that - hopefully soon. Did not expect that much feedback, so there was no development branch at first. I created that and I'm also working on some sound-to-light possibilities. I hope to get all to the master at the weekend. Please stay tuned, maybe with some patience.

Kind regards, Harm
