I use skecth fastled.h to connect arduino nano to Jinx! software to controll ws2812 (3 x3). It Works…

Have you any further details that you can share?

You can download Jinx! from http://www.live-leds.de/ and install. To be able to use Jinx! serial output you will have to install the RXTX library on your system. A simple google search for “RXTX” followed by your system (e.g. “Win 7 64bit”) will guide you easily to the RXTX page were you will find corresponding files for download as well as a short installation manual. It’s really not a big deal. I use instruction from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mwkC4MrCgw
and sketch i use http://yusuf120581.blogspot.co.id/2016/06/sketch-fastled-h-to-connect-jinx.html

Is jinx! Better / same / worse than Glediator

I think jinx! better than glediator.

Hello I was wondering how different it would be to download this than glediator. I already downloaded glediator but im not a big fan of it so i want to try Jinx. What steps would be needed that are different from glediator? I have downloaded RXTX when doing glediator anything else i should do?

@Trevor_Rau have you setup- output device: id 1 driver glediator-start output

8

@yusuf120581 so go to output device and should there be a device there or do i have to manually put one in?

9

@yusuf120581 I got it i didnt patch the device after i made it.

10

Is there a way to keep the animations going without keeping Jinx up?

11

@Trevor_Rau do u use arduino nano sketch? an connect arduino nano to your pc. then setup-output device

12

@yusuf120581 ​ I used an arduino nano yes and i used the sketch you provided. When I closed out of jinx everything went dark so I was wondering if something is wrong. For output I just glediator and 300 channel baut rate to 1000000 and patched the pixels for my 10x10 grid. Is anything wrong?

The application send the data to the leds.
If you close it there is nothing more for them to do.
The patterns aren’t stored in the arduino, it’s just an interface to the LEDs for Jinx! or Glediator.
Once the data stream stops, so do the LEDs.
the advantage of using Jinx! or glediator is that you have the processing power of a PC to put together complex effects. these routines are streamed to the array in real time.

Ok perfect thank you
