Where did you measure the waveform? At the DIN of the LED? The waveform looks correct (maybe try to increase the high part of bit 1 a bit longer). The thing I'm not sure if can cause problems, is the high amount of overshoot, like 200-300mV. I read somewhere (maybe on Adafruit), that these LEDs don ...

I finally managed to get around the issue. Somehow Eclipse had problems if I had some build files already in the new project... So i reset everything and now everything is found. Thanks for the support. PS: This information should be included in the docomentation, so noobs like me can see it right a...

I watched the video, and it helped, although I might be messing up something badly. Will do some checks...
It's not as simple on Windows as on linux though

BTW you have a wonderful style and voice for these kinds of videos, keep up the good work

Hi Guys, I'm a bit new to Eclipse. I followed the steps in setting up the projects to work with esp-idf. It seems that Eclipse is unable to find the header files in the esp-idf directory, and therefore things like ESP specific variables and type definitions (uint8_t for example) are not found. Any i...

The ESP Now is not intended to be used with high data rate... however maybe there are ways to do.
It's a MAC layer transmission protocol, which means that the realiability of the data getting through is not guaranteed.

You must experiment with this, to see how fast can you transmit.

The datasheet says the control inputs are TTL compatible. That means anything over 2.0V should be recognised as 'high'. So I would say that there's no need for a MOSFET circuit. BTW: as the 'on' resistance of each switch is about 4Ω, I don't understand how this device can do level shifting. I don't...

Hi, My short answer is: Yes, you can drive them low, but because it is 5V, you will need an N-channel MOSFET. A "schematic" is seen below. You need to set your GPIO high, to turn the MOSFET on, and drive the OE pin to ground. When the MOSFET is off (GPIO low), the 10kOhm resistor will pull the OE pi...

Reading Sprites post, I'm very happy, he summed it up, with teasing short term things as well :) I was just thinking about the GPIO thing the other day. As far as I know, the ESP is only 1 version of silicon, to make only 1 design, and manufacture everything veeeeery cheap, hence the extremely low p...

My real struggle with the current chip is making it function in a low-power environment. This primarily means (at least to me) the ability to run for an extended period on battery without losing the ability to interact with the system, i.e. receiving either/both wifi and ble requests, waking up and...

Thanks for this idea. I might check this.
