RGBW+WW support (WS2805)

Open Modalen-Engineering opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi! Is anybody working on RGBW+WW support? I will receive some ws2805 tape in January and see that WLED don't support it right now. From the datasheet i can that data is similar to ws2814 with 8 extra bit for the last white. Worldsemi-WS2805 EN.pdf

No, not yet. Check if NeoPixelBus supports it.

It seems like support is being added to NeoPixelBus as of a couple of days ago. (Potentially the next release?)

Any news about the support about this? I just recived it, I thought I could color it like I don on Govee M1, using the WS2814, but on this on it doesn't work. It just display random colors every group of leds.

I guess this is because you need to send a extra byte. If you send 4 byte standard, it will take the byte for the next message.

I ordered some ledstrips too, so I second this request

A groundwork has been done in #3810 If you wish to speed up, add support in bus_wrapper.h and other relevant files and make a PR.

@Modalen-Engineering which Controller you are used? Because when i read the datasheet, the Date line Need the Same voltage as the stripe (e.g 24v).

? Data need voltage 24v? What are you talking about. Also this situation is already resolved on version 0.15 betas.

5v signal level. 24v supply. Same ground as supply but not same signal Level. Controller i have used is a custom PCB with 5v linedrivers.

I have tested this, it works well and looks pretty good except every 10-30 seconds, the lights flicker to white. It stopped for 1-2 days, now it has returned. Not sure what's going on?

Happens on all effects, Solid or any other. Changing colours make no difference.

HW issue.

blazoncek avatar Jun 08 '24 10:06 blazoncek

Fair, will try different ESP32 and have a look! Could it also be the connections to the LED or a faulty ESP32 you would say?

do you stil need beta testers? I'm about to get a big spool of ws2805 and really need it to work with wled

No for that particular issue but otherwise welcome.
