Let's Control It

I don't see anything related to SoftwareSerial in the code of P141.
But it is including Fastled.h, so maybe that one is trying to assign some interrupt triggers to some pins.
This may cause issues. I guess.
These function call SoftwareSerial instead of ESPEasySoftwareSerial: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... wareSerial
Have you added other files, other than the P141 file?

I only added p141 and the fastled lib. It works if i comment out sws_isr_0() like mentioned by johny Mielony. BUT now i am not able to send a pwm command to a specified pin. My problem is that i am using a rgb-W power led and am not able to set white to a value. Only RGB through p141 is working. Is there a way to change white whithin the plugin? I set the led strip type to rgbw and mapped white1 to pin5 but i can´t see a command to switch white on.

BTW the plugin is awesome!

Would it be possible to add a command to the plugin just to set a value for white? Something like this maybe:
I´m not familiar with C so i don´t know how to add another command.

How funny, the code i posted above is working Now i can control the white channel with mqtt command w1,255

I also added this line to void Fp141_CommandOff(){ function to ensure everything is off after command receives.
I know this is not intended by the plugin author but until the white channel is added it is useful for me and maybe an other.

hi,

first of all, thx to the author for coding this plugin... I think it would be huge improvment for the whole project.

But I was not able to compile it successfully... got the following errors (compiled with platform IO):

seems like there is still this problem with "sws_isr_0()"... but how to solve it?

when could we see this plugin in the "official" dev branch?

any help would be great!

thx

.. using arduino IDE everyhting works fine

I can get rid of those errors just by commenting out any occurrence of sws_isr in ESPeasySoftwareSerial.cpp, but that's just workaround, not a solution.

With the sws_isr commented in ESPeasySoftwareSerial.cpp I got it compiled and running. It is a very nice full featured RGB control. One thing that I am missing is the option to select a color and fade it in during a selectable time. This option is available in the lights plugin (https://github.com/ddtlabs/ESPEasy-Plugin-Lights), this one has not seen an update in the last 2 years so I am not sure if it would compile well with the latest version.

Hi,

Can anyone share a .bin file with this RGB plugin for Wimos D1 mini?

+ 1 for ^. Standard 4 meg here.

I added an issue for it on Github: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/1889

Dear all,

Is this project stil a live??
Is ther peperhaps a option this controller works with Domoticz?

i am searching for a H081 controller that i can use in Domoticz..
Or is this the wrong project?

Is it an option for you to use an MQTT server like mosquitto? It's pretty simple and you can use also other firmwares like tasmota or espurna as well.

I don't use and know Domoticz, but I suppose it has MQTT support as well.

i have a mqtt server running in Domoticz..
I flashed a esp with espeasy
And i do have a esp with Thasmota.

Only my knowledge with mqtt is very low

I had also some doubts but love it now. It‘s pretty easy actually. The concept is just different.

Give it a try you won’t regret it.

What do i wrong with compiling _P141?
When i compile ESPEasy_mega-20181017 with Platformio no problem at all.

But when I add _P141 to the map source/src and FastLED-3.1.8 to to map source/lib
Then i add #include "<FastLED.h>" to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
F:/ESPEasy Projects/ESPEasy_mega-20181017_P141/Source/scr/ESPEASY.ino:8923: fatal error scr\<FastLED.h>: Invalid argument

When i changed it in #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\dev_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

When i changed it in #include "FastLED.h" to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
collect2.exe error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\dev_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

If I follow the text of the developer, he used another directory structure.
Installation :
- Add the FastLED library in the 'src/lib/' folder from https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/3.1.8
- Move this file to the 'src/' folder
- Add "#include <FastLED.h>" at the start of src/lib/ESPEasy.ino file else compiler fails

Please, can anyone tell me what i doing wrong?

For PlatformIO there is a separate lib directory at the same level as the src dir.
See directory structure here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy

Hello TD-er,

I'm not a programmer, only a simple user who was interrested in the possibilities of the _P141 Plugin together with a Huacanxing H801

This is the structure of testing the plugins, I started on another computer with Platformio as descriped in de Wiki. I used ESPEasy_mega-20181023 as file.
First i compiled ESPEasy_mega-20181023, no problem with the normal-test-dev_ESP8266 versions.

Then i add _P141, with the library FastLED-3.1.8 and #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy_mega-20181023.
Problems:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\normal_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

I started again this time with _P142 and ESPEasy_mega-20181023.

The third try, _P150 and ESPEasy_mega-20181023.
Problems:
Environment dev_ESP8266_1024 [ERROR]
Environment dev_ESP8266_4096 [ERROR]

These are successfull:

Environment normal_ESP8266_4096 [SUCCESS]
Environment test_ESP8266_1024 [SUCCESS]
Environment test_ESP8266_4096 [SUCCESS]

Then i add _P141, with #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy_mega-20181023 but without the library.
Problems:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\normal_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1 My question to you, can you maybe try to compile the _P141 Plugin to see what the results are in your environment?

Please provide somebody a .bin file

I've such a binary with P142 RGB-Strip, but do not know what is the difference with P141. 4MB version.
download/file.php?id=3594

Hi,
added two bin files with P141. One for 1MB and the other for 4MB flash.

Hope that helps.

BTW. I don't use ESPEasy for LED strips anymore although I love its flexibility. Tasmota has a much better implementation for this IMHO. This plugin flickers a lot in low dimming settings and it has no fading.

Any ETA on support for those devices?

Hi,
for me ESPEasy was not the right choice for ws2812 strips. I ended up using WLED for that after some research. It has a web interface and supports a variety of protocols.

I‘ve connected it via MQTT to my openHAB. Works like a charm.

Apart from the technical aspect a lot of effects are supported out of the box. It may be worth having a look.
