Hi Hans,

finally i had the opportunity to create a new conf file with your new boblight configmaker. First I want to mention that in the colors section there are "comma" instead of period. The log file is indicating an error at line 19.

here the service.log zipped

Thanks for testing. I will look into that this weekend I hope.

Just a quick question; did you set the decimal separator to "period" in the preferences screen?

Yes i have choosen the period separator, as you can see -despite of the colors section- everything is separated with period.

Ah I see the problem. In the [color] section it still shows komma's. You must be located in Europe haha ...
It's what the OS forces for the decimal point for your computer.

I've created a new version, which addresses this issue.
Thank you for testing, I'm trying to make v2 to work without too much effort on my side (have a lot of other projects that need my time, like preparing to move for a new job hahah).

I've uploaded beta 4, which should address this. 

I'm following this thread and I must say it is very interesting...I also have troubles with the boblight/enigmaconfig . Everytime I want to run it,I get "info-Adjust/Write" so there must be something wrong in the config I suppose? I run some tests and all the lights work ( Arduino Uno and a frame of 93 WS2812B leds connected to satellite reciever with Enigmalight running...

Hans,

Hi Benno!

What do you mean with "middle left"?
By quickly looking, I have the impression that you LEDs start at the Bottom right corner?

What are you seeing when you test the strand?

The tv set has a stand, so when you're standing behind, I have  BOTTOMLEFT =  12 leds, open space (BOTTOM CENTER PADDING = 12 leds) and BOTTOMRIGHT =  12 leds ; RIGHT = 17 leds ; TOP = 35 leds ; LEFT = 17 leds ; Led nr.1 starts bottomright and goes counterclockwise... I've tried to change some things, but no succes.

I forgot to mention that when I do the strandtest every led works just fine...(Adafruit- strandtest)

Hi Benno,

doing the strand test is always a good way to start. At least we've got that covered 

When looking at your conf file, I cannot see anything "weird" popping up. I cannot find the "opening" in the bottom strand though.

You mentioned “info-Adjust/Write” - where do you see that message? I've never seen a message like that so I assume it's Enigma specific.

I'm also a little confused about what you see happening when trying the LEDs. Nothing happens and just that message shows somewhere? Or something does happen it's just not matching with the order you had in mind?

Hello Hans,

Now the leds are working, but there is a problem with the testvideo...all the basic colors are allright. But when  the "LARGE BLOCKS" appear... it is not correct. I see in the first large block : yellow,red , blue and green. But when I look behind the tv set, the leds are all a little bit mixed up! For instance : the blue one (left corner by the way I'm sitting in front of tv now...)gives me behind : 8 blue leds and 4 yellow leds ( those supposed to be all blue!) and so on... Can you tell me how I can fix this?

This is my last configuration...and with this .conf I get the colors mixed up. Is there something wrong inside the .conf?

Sorry for the very late reply - I totally missed this post! 

When colors are screwed up, then this could be related to the RGB order of your LED strip.
Some strips use a different order, so instead of RGB, for example GRB.
This will cause odd colors to appear.

The best way to test this is by running a test sketch for your LED strip (link) and try a few basic colors (Red, Green and Blue).
Basically this would be enough:

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 6
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
  strip.begin();
  strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
  
  for(uint16_t i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
      strip.setPixelColor(i, strip.Color(255, 0, 0));  // = red
      // To test the other 2 basic colors:
      // strip.Color(0, 255, 0) = green
      // strip.Color(0, 0, 255) = blue
      
  }
  
  strip.show();
}
void loop() {
  // Do nothing here
}

Notice how you can change the color order in this line:

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

From NEO_GRB to NEO_RGB ...

Also: try what the old Boblight Config maker produces.

Hello Hans,

Everything works now! The only thing I see Is when a black screen appears...the white leds are lighting up?Is there something I can do about that?
