Only 9 ws281x outputs on ESP32 without audio reactive

Open schuettloeffel-elsa opened this issue 5 months ago • 4 comments

What happened?

After updating from 0.14 to 0.15, I can only use 9 ws281x outputs. I first suspected audio reactive (AR) to be the problem, since AR is enabled by default in 0.15 and the docs state:

"classic" ESP32: 10 led strips (9 with audioreactive)

So I compiled 0.15 without audio reactive, but still i can only configure 9 ws281x outputs (the 10th being ws2801).

To Reproduce Bug

In 0.15, add 10 ws281x led outputs, from the 10th on you can´t select ws281x.

Expected Behavior

As the docs state i should be able to use 10 outputs when audio reactive is removed. Either this is possible or the docs have to be updated.

Install Method

Self-Compiled

What version of WLED?

v0.15.1-rc2

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

Any reason why you are using the release candidate rather than final release of 0.15.1 ? If you are building from source from the 0_15_x release branch you should see the version as 0.15.2-beta1

Uh no, i was just searching for the current stable tag, thought this was v0.15.1-rc2. Should i try this again with tag v0.15.1 ?

Okay so i checked out tag v0.15.1 and compiled the following env:

[env:esp32dev-no-ar]
extends = env:esp32dev
build_flags = ${env:esp32dev.build_flags} -D WLED_DISABLE_ESPNOW -D WLED_DISABLE_BROWNOUT_DET -D WLED_DISABLE_LOXONE -D WLED_DISABLE_ALEXA -D WLED_DISABLE_HUESYNC -D WLED_DISABLE_2D
build_unflags =  -D USERMOD_AUDIOREACTIVE

Now, for some reason, audioreactive is present again .. I also compiled one version via https://wled-compile.github.io/, checked Remove Audio Reactive Usermod if included per default in Version 0.15.x (only) - same thing, audioreactive is not removed.

Any ideas how to remove it from v0.15.1?

dont extend the env, copy it and dont include the audio reactive.
