Only first LED lights up #45

Closed potentstudios closed 7 years ago

potentstudios commented 7 years ago

The first led only lights up green, yellow or white. I've used the same wiring (with the exception of the data pin) as this project https://github.com/scottlawsonbc/audio-reactive-led-strip and the entire LED strip lights up fine. Here are links to my patch and output settings. Patch: http://i.imgur.com/Y52UMQs.png Output: http://i.imgur.com/C2sdALC.png. For some reason Jinx! doesn't automatically recognize the nodeMCU as an output device but Vista 2 does.

You have load the wrong project for pixel ! This is only DMX output. This is the good https://github.com/mtongnz/ESP8266_ArtNetNode_v2

Ope! When using the "Web UI OTA from my previous project" method to update the firmware with the .bin file, the nodeMCU shows a solid red light after clicking update in the Web UI.

I have same thing with Adafruit Feather..... No problem with wemos and esp07.

So this is a web UI update issue rather than pixel output issue?

It is possible that they have a different flash chip size which has caused me issues in the past. Check your flash size - how to here: https://www.instructables.com/id/ESP8266-Artnet-to-DMX/#step4

Hopefully your chips are a 1M flash size or higher. When you compile the v1.2.0 firmware, ensure you select the 1M(256K SPIFFS) setting or there isn't enough room for OTA.

I have a nodeMCU which I use for my prototyping and it seems to work fine. Let me know how you go.

The firmware is working flawlessly! The red light just scared me a bit. The red light goes away after I set up the settings in the Web GUI and then it briefly is on while turning on the device. Other than that it works flawlessly with Jinx! software and I couldn't be happier! One thing I have noticed is there's a bit of lag but I can work around it for my uses because I'm only using midi information from Reaper to control the lights so I put the triggers a little early in the timeline so it's on beat. Thank you so much for your help! I'm so glad I found your tutorial and that you were gracious enough to answer all my questions! Thank you!!

I'm glad you got everything working. The source will be released soon so hopefully the lag can be minimized by the community :)
