Se puede usar sin los led externos

[@nelsonsimango5669]

I like the pick truck effect, the Police one will get me in trouble with our South African Police service, the law this side is tough you did a great project with WS2812B !! lov it :)

[@IonutFedaceag]

Well, as I said in the clip, if you are not authorized to use certain animations, do not use them, the risk is too high ... I'm glad that you like it. ;)

How many watts each?

[@jessechilds216]

Hey have you assembled kits for sale? If not, I will be your first client!

[@angnoop2]

That's what I'm saying!

[@laferrereeltriunfo2256]

Excelent !!! Is possible add at this proyect day ligt ,turn and tail ?

[@simanx-krom3264]

This coding, if I want to make it auto without a button, how do I change it, sir?

[@motasemedais2941]

Please I want the code that you used

[@malagiyawanna]

Hello lonut , I want build DRL light for my CHR can you help me to modify this codes for suit my light?

[@IonutFedaceag]

I doubt that i will have time, i didn't make a clip in over two years. If you have questions, put them here and i will answer when i have the time...

[@shawnhughs7412]

Why can't I download the code?

[@guynoyman634]

Hi nice job Can i use it with esp32 ?

[@harrisrendra2191]

what if using ws2811 where every 3 leds use 1 ws2811 ic chip, does the sketch in the description work with ws2811 i mean

[@IonutFedaceag]

Theoretically it should work without any problem ... But don't forget, ws2811 are at 12v (not 5v), you must power the leds separately from the arduino wich works at 5v, i think that you will need to eliminate the 220Ohm resistors... Don't forget, even if ws2811 works on 12v, if plan to use it in a car, you will still need to use a voltage regulator for the led strips, because any car with engine running it will output 14.4v. ;)

[@Tarex_]

is there a chance you could incorporate an NRF24L01 module to control the animations remotely?

[@IonutFedaceag]

Maybe, in the future, but with this simple example and explanations i think that you can make it yourself... kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPGh5h8e62WfK8 It's extremely simple...

[@Dwi_Akza]

@Think small,build big! I want to ask, can auto animation be made when Arduino is on, so without the button, play all animations in sequence ...

[@IonutFedaceag]

Yes, you can use a toggle switch (switch with retention) for the demo button and while the switch is in the on position the demo will start when you apply power or change in the code at line 20 the default animation " int AnimState = 31; //(31 representing the demo section) " and you can also change the default color set at line 23 " int ColorState = 1; // from 1 to 6 ". You can also change the demo section (from line 261 to 321) and live there only the effects that you like. The total number of demo effects is at line 39 " int demoEffectsTotal = 30; " and you can live only 10 demo effects and modify the first 10 effects in demo section to be the ones that you like.

[@christiaanvorster1988]

This is Brilliant! Is there an easier way of downloading the software, other than subscribing. It just needs a Stationary setting for Emergency Services duty lights.

[@IonutFedaceag]

Thanks! Well, you don't need to subscribe to download the software, but it will help for future projects... :)

[@mbotentjanggih9737]

is very nice n inspiring... btw, if i want change WS2812 with WS2811 12V LED. is still use this schematic? or how to connect that? thanks a lot.

[@IonutFedaceag]

Thanks. Well you can use ws2811 12V, but you will have to use another step down step up converter ( something like this amzn.to/2ZmsHOk ) to stabilize the 12V for the leds, because in any 12v vehicules the voltage is betwen 12v and 14.4v... and the effects won't be so alive, because in ws2811 one pixel means three leds on the strip... The schematic will be mostly the same, the only modifications are that you will power up the leds from the other converter and make a common ground, the signal connections will be the same as in the schematic.

[@IonutFedaceag]

Unfortunately i didn't use nodemcu v3, so i can't tell you if it's different, but from a simple google search i so that after you instal the drivers need for the board in arduino ide you can upload a sketch for arduino, so give it a try.

[@sorinvieru4073]

From where i can buy the leds?

[@IonutFedaceag]

De obicei tot ce am nevoie in materie de leduri, senzori si controlere imi comand de la www.iluminat-ieftin.ro , www.ardushop.ro , www.optimusdigital.ro sau www.cleste.ro .

Cu placere. Sincer, programarea te va ajuta in orice domeniu pe viitor, nu numai in electronica, asa ca merita invatata...

waiting for animation without the button thanks.

[@IonutFedaceag]

If you want the animation to start directly, you can use a toggle switch (switch with retention) for the demo button and while the switch is in the on position the demo will start when you apply power or change in the code at line 20 the default animation " int AnimState = 31; //(31 representing the demo section) " and you can also change the default color set at line 23 " int ColorState = 1; // from 1 to 6 ".

[@justinestardo8545]

how to be you boss? hehe so ohhhsome.. i suggest that the switch b bluetooth control

[@IonutFedaceag]

I don't think the same way, i think that this type of lights should be on physical switches because it needs the fastest time of response...

[@imadjawad4408]

interesting!! I used V5 of the previous episodes couldn't change the turn lights to work faster, those are way faster!

[@IonutFedaceag]

Strange, because i've based them on the same principle... I will take a look these days and get back to you if i find something wrong in the code.

[@imadjawad4408]

Thank you!

[@IonutFedaceag]

Well, i did check and both are the same speed... Did you change? int delayTurnLedAnim = 6; //delay of each led in turn light animation It's responsible for the leds individual animations.

[@imadjawad4408]

@@IonutFedaceag Yes, I did, I took it down to 1, I'm using 216 LEDs so I think this is my problem. Thanks for the reply!!

[@IonutFedaceag]

Well, if you specified the number of leds that you where using, i could told you that from the beginning. For the animation to be visible, every led needs a minimum time, so after a certain number of leds, you can't speed up thinks anymore. Your welcome! ;)

[@MikevomMars]

Effects looks really nice but the code is VERY inefficient and memory wasting using lots of if-statements. Could be done much more elegant 😐
