I noticed something "strange"

Hi all,

yesterday i was fiddeling around litte bit with my hyperion setup (Pi4, Libreelec, WS2812b, PWM)

and have noticed something "strange".

When turning on a static color via the web interface remote control,

sometimes data is send continuously and sometime data is send only once to the leds.

For example, they are only send once at full single colors like (255,0,0), (0,255,0) and (0,0,255).

At (214,44,85) they are send continuously.

I know this does not really matter because the leds remain in theire last state but just for technical interest:

is this an intendet behavior or whats the reason for this?

Thanks for explanation!

Best regards Marxon

Hi Lord-Grey!

1. That was also my assumption. Smoothing was of course turned off.

2. Ok but it's not just more events, it's an infinite number of events.

3. I hooked up an osci and an logic analyzer and measured on the leds data input.

If you measure at the LEDs itself, you need to have rewrites off, too.

Rewrites off? How do you mean this exactly?

(jetzt steh ich gerade auf dem Schlauch )

EDIT: Is it wrong to measure at the leds itself?

I could also measure on the pi output but this should make no difference

I am glad that to

Rewrite/Refresh Time can be configured for the LED device (I guess you see it with Expert level).

It it the time when a LED device does an update itself when no new updates are coming as some devices cannot maintain a stable state themselves over time.

That’s true. Was confused by the term „rewrite“ time

Nevertheless, let me have a look and add a debug statement to test how many color events end up at the LED device.

OK statements will follow…

I will also take a look into source code.

Guess not but maybe i figure out something.

Little bit off topic:

Es freut mich gerade zu sehen, dass ich zwar nichts wirklich richtig kann und verstehe

aber dennoch kein absoluter noob bin.

Fast alles davon habe ich durch so großartige Projekte wie Hyperion und

Leuten wir dir gelernt.

Vielen Dank für all die Mühe, die Zeit und das Herzblut das ihr da reinsteckt!
