RobG 1,892 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Created as part of GB#11, this booster pack uses 5050 RGB LEDs with integrated WS2811. Will post code examples later on. BTW, I cannot get a preview of this YouTube video to show up, can you check it out B#? SirPatrick, jsolarski and PentiumPC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It needs a newline/return after the address. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thanks CDE. Looks like something has changed. I used to use Media tag, now all you have to do is just paste the URL. Funny thing is, some old videos work, some don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing is, some old videos work, some don't. Rob, You don't use the media tag. For youtube videos, copy and paste the share link. It will automatically get parsed.

GeekDoc 226 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Will post code examples later on. Still planning on this? I finally got mine put together. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 You can use code from here, just change RGBLED data[30] = { 0, }; to data[16] and add your animation in a while loop. GeekDoc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Perfect! Thanks. Are the two pairs of 2-pin headers for 5v input option? How would I isolate it from the MSP430? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yes they are. To isolate, do not short JP1 (bottom layer.) GeekDoc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thought that was it. Thanks Rob. You make some very cool stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
