vinz68 / neopixel-stair Goto Github PK

Is it possible to modify this code for different stair widths? (I have stairs that go straight for a couple of steps and then do a 180, so the one "in the curve" are wider), if there would be a possibility of entering LED per row
Define row1 45
define row2 20

etc

Vincent,

I am new to Arduino and in the process of adding the LED strips to my stairs. I was curious if your sketch would work for the above mentioned LED's that has the 4th color. Or what should I change so that the sketch does work? Thanks

Deatr Vinz68,

I tried loads of things and this is the second code i am tryint to edit but even with stock i can't get any results.

I have 572 LED in total over 13 steps (few steps are larger so got diferent ammount but its not about that now)
Maximum number which this file works with is 448 pixels, anything above that software just doesn't want to work.
I have 1000uF capacitos on +/- leads towards LEDs and 470ohm resistor on pin where signal lead goes towards LED (will try to put another one maybe bigger or smaller)

I just don't understand why code is not cooperating with me when it is over 448 pixels.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have used your script but the LDR is not working.
What is wrong?
In the Console I see the daytime limit so the stairs does not work.
But when I put my finger on the LDR there are no messages anymore but the PIR is not working.
So the stairs does not go on...

The code used is EXACT the same as your...

Hi,

I found your sketch and i'm building my stair led with your code. Is there a way to control the brightness of the leds.

Thnx

Hi,

I made one for my stairs, works well. I want to do it in my hallway, Can more sensors be added ? For example; 1 sensor is like controlling 1 meter.

Have a nice day

Also - can you modify the code for use with two ultrasonic sensors instead of pir ? That can be fine tuned and oriented more precise to detect the persons. Good job, congratulations !

Hi,
I'm looking for a project like this for weeks and I like your concept very much...it's nearly exactly what I wanted to do but I never figured it out by myself (I'm not a programmer).

I want to use SK6812 RGBWW strips and already modified your sketch to have real white in stead of rgb-white.

Now it would be really cool, if the color wipe would be done with smooth fade effects instead of going from 0 to 1 and back to 0 immediately.

Do you have any idea how I can do this?

EDIT: I retyped your whole sketch to fit for my needs and just found out that you added a fading effect by using "turnOnSpeed" and "turnOffSpeed". But somehow this doesn't work for me at all.

Hi I wonder if you could help. When I upload code I get nothing working. I don't have an ldr attached do I need to change anything. Thanks

Hello,
Is it possible to modify the code to work on a ESP8266 based device,like Wemos D1 mini or Lolin ?
For me it is impossible to run more that ~310 LEDs and for sure is the well known limitations that involve RAM.
Every LED needs 3 bytes of RAM so it looks like the whole setup is limited to 300+ LEDs. That leads to a platform with more RAM available and I thought an ESP8266 will be good for this purpose...
Can it be done from your point of view ? I did compiled it in Arduino IDE,flashed it on Wemos D1 mini but it will do nothing.
Thank you.
