Hi there,
i want to use the Adalight-Protocol with my "analog" not adressable LED-Strip.
The leds use the same anode and with pwm and a transisotr to the kathode i can chane the colour.
So no SPI or so but my "server"-Programm can use the Adalight.... so how can i convert the
databits to a usefull value for the pwm ?
Greetings
Squall
ps.: i use an arduiono leonardo and the usb-serial connection
Adalight protocol with analog led strip (PWM)

Show us what you have so far and perhaps someone can come up with an idea or two. What do you having as an input and what do you want to output Be specific, not just Adalight in PWM out.

Re: Adalight protocol with analog led strip (PWM)
I use Hyperion as server, it is like boblight but it speaks the adalight protokoll.
For the arduini actually i use you exemple for rgb
https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/example-code
with the same setup as in the example.
This is what hyperion explains to use on the arudino
https://gist.github.com/tvdzwan/9008833
.... so here is the problem. the bits will wirted directly to the led strip controllers..... but i
use this https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/2692 ... there arnt controllers .... so i have
to convert the bits for all leds ( i will tell hyperion to think there is only ONE led ) ... so adalight should send "ADA" + the bitdata for one led (R value B value and G value ) .... or ? ... and i need these three values to wirte with analogWrite to an PWMPin or ?
