Hi Ben,

I noticed that you got this running in FC9. Can you post this to fc8?
I requested this on march 22nd.

Hi Martin, Thank you very much! I will play with this later and let you know.
I am using a pic32mz for my little project so we will see how it goes.

Re: New led string to play with. SK6812 - rgbw

Hi Ben, Yes They are in the same package , RGBW. So the white channel is just number 4 in the data packet. I couldn't find a datasheet for the white led yet but I will keep looking. This is a data sheet from adafruit. https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/1138/SK6812+LED+datasheet+.pdf Here is...

Re: New led string to play with. SK6812 - rgbw

Ok so it is sort of working. I tried first with some (should be) good R-G-B ws2812's. And they respond and I can control the color of them. The problem it seems that the start is shifted from 1. If i try #1 it starts at like 16? I think there is something funky with the rgb 2811 / / / component. I t...

Re: New led string to play with. SK6812 - rgbw

Ok I'll give it a go. Just wasn't sure how a three channel control component is going to behave with a four channel led.

They should be here today.

Thanks,

New led string to play with. SK6812 - rgbw

Hello all. I ordered a new string of led's for a project I want to start. They are like the ws2812 rgb's but they also have a white. I did a search on the forum and didn't see anything come up. Does any one have a driver? Or can the led string driver be tweaked to work with these? Here is the data s...

Re: PWM Issues

Just to clarify a little of what Ben said. The optical output of the led will scale above 50% to 100%. It is actually our eyes that don't scale well. Past a certain brightness our eyes don't perceive the brightness difference well but if you measured the optical output the led is doing what it is su...

Re: Bringing up a new chip 18f24k50 Having some problems.

Little update.

I was sending data to a UART. I disabled the enable but didn't disable the sending. That was hanging the chip. I also disabled the WDT, hopefully that will fix the chip resetting.

Thank you guys for helping, It is appreciated.

Re: Bringing up a new chip 18f24k50 Having some problems.

Ok So that was a big help. OSCCON and not OSCFREQ helped. That did make it faster. The chip runs for a bit then hangs and resets but that is at least progress. I don't know where I got the oscfreq instead. I adapted my test program from another chip that was already wired up with some pin changes. T...

Re: Bringing up a new chip 18f24k50 Having some problems.

There is no OscHelper setting that matches. I have to disable the C-code to get it to compile. Like I said it sort-of runs. It takes 5 seconds to update my little oled display. It then hangs a after a little bit. I am totally willing to accept that I have something set wrong. I did infact. This one ...

Re: Bringing up a new chip 18f24k50 Having some problems.

Hi Stefan,

That's how I set it up.
Thanks for double checking my settings.

On the bigger chip. I realized that as soon as I saw how much memory I had left after my little test program.
I just can't seem to win.

Anyway, thanks..

I gave up on the other chip, was getting no support from FC. I went with the 18f24k50 and I have it sort of running but it is really slow. I have tried to set the config but I must be doing something wrong. Does any one have a screen shot of the config settings, the clock speed under general and if ...
