ESP8266 ArtNetNode v2 and QLCplus

Open markusb opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I'm attempting to use ArtNetNode v2 with QLCplus. This works fine for DMX, but I can not make it work for WS2812 LEDs.

  • I have a rs422 converter on port B and can control my DMX devices.
  • I have a string of WS2812 LEDs on port B. I think they are wired correctly as the 1st three LEDs show the device status.

The connection from QLCplus is working for DMX (Universe 4), but I'm unable to make anything show up on the LED string. How can I debug this ?

I found the issue by studying the source code, the schematics alone are incomplete and misleading. The same port is used either for DMX-TX or for WS2812 data, which is makes sense. What confused me was the label 'LED_A' and 'LED_B' on the schematics named dmx_and_pix. The name of the schematics is misleading as it is only shows DMX.

It would be useful to add some wiring instructions to the readme, describing the ports where to wire up the WS2812 LEDs and also how to wire up three WS2812 LEDS to the port labelled LED_A for status display.

are you finding that the code freezes?
