It would be great if one of these days you give us a platformio tutorial, for those of us who are still starting with this IDE. Greetings and thanks for sharing.
Dave you are a genius! I recently saw that you are the father of the task manager in windows! Your code explanation is really nice! Thank you very much for everything!!
Thanks a ton for posting these videos. I'm a developer but they were really helpful to get me in the right mindset to think about how the LEDs need to be approached logically. Have a good one!
Hi Dave, 2:50 I think you will find is 25 for the module you are using. Or is this a 'work it out for yourself moment'? I think this series is a little pot of gold and enjoy your insights very much. Glad to see the subs are climbing well, but what have you done with Clive?
Thanks Dave! I haven't lit anything up yet, but getting closer. I just ordered a couple $1 ESP-01s boards with LED Driver module. Some come with a small WS2812B ring light. The ESP-01 is pretty cool for $1ish. Its a 8266 chip.
These tutorials are solid gold I'm actualy learning ! I'm a hardware guy just getting to know the Arduino/MCU world and beginning to get over not having a soldering iron near me, all my simple projects have been a copy and paste massacre but I would like to know if any of you stunning examples are available for me to look at somewhere please ? I learn by plugging in other numbers and seeing what happens however I'm ok if they all get set to white I can handle that bit !....cheers.
I have followed your videos and instructions, when i have 20 LEDS I can get them to fad in and out but with 60 LEDS they snap on and off. What am i doing wrong?
Super useful!! Wish though that you covered what the "timebase" and "phase_offest" variables in the beat function in FastLED did, I'm still struggling to figure that out :(
Those parameters allow you to change the starting point of the wave you're creating. They do the same thing but "timebase" let's you work in the time domain and the "phase offset" works in the angle domain. Have a look at Scott Marley's set of FastLED tutorials for more info on how to use these (and a whole lot more).
What software do you use when you are tracking people facial features and get A.I to respond to an end users facial expressions while NOT in real time? Is this a stupid question? Lol maybe I should say Is this a gaming software in beta? Idk I have no idea what. BUT, if its military then maybe its not a game. You want a dream??.? I can give you a real cinderella story. Yup
I am dumb. Was googling for "libation.h cpp math library" and similar phrases instead of wait a minute for You to switch from camera view to IDE and see the proper *"lib8tion.h"* card name...
When addressing the LED's, how does the LED know whether to execute the command or pass the command on? Each LED has no idea which LED it is in the chain. The simplest method I could think of is each LED get's a number, if the number is 0, it knows the command is for itself, if not, will -1 and pass it on.
Went down that hole a while back, i had sk6812 rgbw, essentially subsequent values get passed forward and there's a timeout to denote end of frame... if that makes sense.
I love your videos. Thank you for putting them out there. I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I am experiencing. If I use FastLED with more than 70 LEDs, the whole strip flickers. With less than 70 LEDs, they display colors and transitions smoothly. I experience the same issue when using an Arduino Nano, Adafruit QtPy, Teensy 4.0, and Teensy 3.2. One temporary solution is including the WS2812SERIAL non-blocking library, but it only works with Teensy boards. That's fine, but I still need FastLED to work with more than 70 LEDs using other boards. NOTE: My circuit is wired using a 12v WS2815 LED strip. Can you please help me?
this is one of the coolest most valuable channels on youtube

Done and done! I took your advice and did a PlatformIO install tutorial to get you started.
@@DavesGarage thanks, it was very helpful
"... two essential topics to achieve LED greatness..." - that is certified gold.
Great stuff as usual!
awesome episode!
Dave you are a genius! I recently saw that you are the father of the task manager in windows! Your code explanation is really nice! Thank you very much for everything!!
Thank! That's me (the Taskmgr part, not the genius part)!
Another great video Dave!

Awesome Dave! I think I'm going to have to play around with this for a bit. :-) Thanks again for the great work you put into your videos.
Thank you Dave, your videos help me a lot to make sense of things.
Excellent Dave! :D
Another awesome video, thanks Dave.

That should work just fine for these types of demos! And you can't beat that price!

fastled how to change output led pin while code is running
Dave, I just discovered your channel via reddit. I absolutely love it, keep making great content.
Thanks! Please be sure to give it a bump on Reddit, it couldn't hurt! And share with programmer friends!
@@DavesGarage ill share with them by showing them the cool stuff I make from your teachings!
Any change of using a .mov file to change the color of the pixel? I would have a 1 pixel x 120 pixel video - each pixel is one led
I have followed your videos and instructions, when i have 20 LEDS I can get them to fad in and out but with 60 LEDS they snap on and off. What am i doing wrong?
i'm using an esp8266, is it capable of control 6000 LEDs connected in series
Mac code Android versions plis sir
Which ide are you using?
I'm using VisualStudio Code with the PlatformIO IDE.
Thanks for video! What's the point to use infinite loop inside "loop" function? Has it any pross or you simply like it?)
I guess its personal taste but to be honest normally I -do- return out of loop!

Cylon is right. Though the Nightrider reference reminds me that there once was a DL named hasselhoff.
