Duet3 Neopixel Wiring
-
Yes, exactly. Doens't matter what I do, only the first ring is working.
And the 5V GND flip is only an on the drawing
-
@MartinNYHC I only asked because if it was me there would be an at least 50% chance that I wired them backwards.
Have you tried swapping which physical ring is first in the series to make sure it's not a hardware problem with the Neopixels?
-
Haha...to be honest, I just double checked
Yes, already did that. All rings seems to be fine.
-
It sounds like the data out to data in connection is not working. This could be caused by the ground connection between the rings not being good enough.

Re-soldered verything and now it's working
I plan to use a Python API module to sniff the data. Or is there any UNIX socket where to get the data from?

Are you running with an attached Raspberry Pi, or in standalone mode? If you have an attached Pi then you can use the Duet Software Framework API.

Yes, that's the plan. Using the framework API on the SBC. Just wanted to know if that's the best way to go.

Sorry about being tardy. Real life has been a real b*tch, and answering questions has been sidelined. I’ll try and get you the revised code I did (because of the particular arduino I was using - adafruit mini) and the wiring. The wiring itself is far simpler than it was for the duet2, and connects to the io0 port. Keep in mind I still use the panel due, which generates the serial traffic, but the new settings that push data should negate the need for the panel due if you are so inclined to ditch it.

@Nuramori You are the best! And no worries, take care of life on your end. I'm still screwing around trying to get the printer running after a continuous stream of part tweaking and modifications to fit my non-standard build (hey, it seemed a good idea at the time )
