The internals are all the same as Torch v1 (240 WS2812, Teensy 3.1, MSGEQ7, IR, etc), but I’ve upgraded the body to glass and metal. I hid all the electronics in the base, and used panel mount jacks for power and audio.
Thanks! Arduino hangs while compiling, with nothing in the output pane? I’m using Arduino 1.6.5 and Teensyduino 1.25, latest from FastLED, also need the Teensy IRremote and EEPROM libraries. Might try turning on verbose compilation output in Preferences.
@Jason_Coon do you have room to mount a larger button on the top? Is there a “nut” on the top center holding the metal lid on our could you put a button there?
I only see USB-B (full size) panel mount connectors (Adafruit, PJRC, Aliexpress). It would mean a larger cable coming out of the back, but this is a large lamp.
@Jason_Coon look on ebay for “on off membrane switch”
Compiler hangs - issue: I downloaded IRremote lib; still same problem.
Then I saw that it uses arduino-1.6.4\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\FastLED and not as expected arduino-1.6.4\libraries\FastLED
Updated the FastLED lib in the teensy branch and it works!
Learned again something interesting.
@Jason_Coon still having problems: connected a APA102 matrix (20x14), and stereo MSGEQ7 , but no remote yet. When I upload the code the matrix is bright white - draws 10A;
and there are a few color dots showing. I’m almost blind already
How can I ‘inverse’ the white LEDs to black?
What data should be in the EEPROM at the beginning?
What is your matrix setup - serpentine?
Thanks so much for your help!
Weird, shouldn’t need anything pre-loaded in EEPROM, it just saves/loads the settings (brightness, pattern index, etc), and they should default to the first pattern, low brightness, etc. Try commenting the call to loadSettings in setup, and set currentPaletteIndex to the index of whatever pattern you’d like.
@Jason_Coon inching towards it
My APA102 LED panel
got Data and Clock the other way around. Now it’s no longer lit up fully and reacts on music signals.
However, it displays only one single row.
It is 20 x 14 in a serpentine layout.
What is your layout and how can I set up mine to have 14 rows?
@Jason_Coon yes, I was already playing with this option, but no success. Only the first 15 LEDs light up. With the wrong layout setting I would have expected ‘wild’ patterns along the rest of the strip.
Maybe @Mark_Kriegsman can give advice how to port your code into serpentine layout.
Have you tried swapping the torch XY function for the one in XYMatrix? If you have, and it doesn’t work, post a link to your code and I’ll try to take a look.
