Library to control multiple light fixtures with the same codebase

jfixlib's Issues

First ping has no battery status

pinMode for JJonisk is done in Jonisk setup.
Perhaps higher level.

Serial ESPNOW-bridge device needed for Jonisk

Need ESP32, why?

Init colors @ Gui and synth and ESP32 correctly.

ESP32 boots as black.
SC should do as well.

fabgl canvas is 8 bit

So a fade out won't benefit from the 16-bit leds.
Although the curve will be better.

otaServer and monitorMode

Can't be both...

otaServer update

Currently depending on external Modes etc.

Create a class? Let JFixture inherit.
JOtaServer

GUI: add curve setting

GUI assume fixture has synth in SC.

Make .config format human-readable JSON

Instead of using an array, use keys:
address : [0x00, 0x00, 0x00]

SC has no repo

Wireless issues

Fix: handshake? ...
Double send.

Check lines in minimal2: are they all send individual? If T. Check if grouping is an option.

Raspberry Pi Master

Should have 2 wireless interfaces.
1 for ESPNOW.
1 for SSH. Trigger sequences from here.
Or use as remote SC-server?

Use loc and size in JOsc::draw()

Jonisk tlFix channels interfere

In st_brightness mode: Brightness slider

Should set brightness val of ESP32.

How to give visual feedback? (OTA / boot / ping)

          How to link visual feedback of the update?

For example: green led brightness.
This is different on each fixture...
Use virtual function.
Dimmer fixtures: use green channel.
Addressable: use first led.
LCD: use a pixel?

Something like that.
Always override the function.

Bitdepth limits

Currently brightnessCurve[] limits the possibilities to 256.

Only use float for brightness?
@ static RGBW color is 32-bit.
@ n RGBW color is 16-bit.
Brightness is always 32 bit.

So avoid brightnessCurve @ ESP32. Use curves in SC synth.

Issue sending text to espnow-bridge

Needs Int8Array.newFrom([]), but this doesn't accept text...

Inheritence graph

JFixture should be top, JEspnowDevice should inherit. Right?

sendPing interferes with static mode (Perlin)

Option to disable?
Option in Event: bBlockPing

...

Group msgs

// addEvent
// addEnv

Group them
New msg type: groupedMsg: 0x43
[msgType, address, numMsg, len1, len2, len3, etc
Split the data.
Parse each block as unique msg.

Only add relevant stuff into msg...
So: not the address (already in the grouped msg).

However, we need these bytes for parsing.
1.) Add them anyway ⟵
2.) Add them on the ESP side (copying and allocating data...)

Scale of Env slider equal

When changing slider all steps are send

Difficult when combined with streaming...

Set .defer(s.latency) in send

Sync, without setting latency to 0.

Duplicate VERSION and jFixVersion

ESPNOW lib

Branch test 32b47d3 works @ ESP8266.
w/ ESPNOW_lib main

GUI for JFixture in SC

• Set color

• Set brightness

• LagTime

• Sleep

• OTA

• Test sequence

• Synth side:

• Envelope: A, S, R

• Brightness

• BrightessAdd

• Run as 4 channel RGBW or 1 channel Brightness (16-bit possible)

Instead of CRGB** in draw(): links the CRGB** during addEvent()

Simpler?

lastAdded ptr in Event should be set to null

When an Event is deleted, it should set this pointer to null.
Also: when a new Event is added, make sure it is the only one pointing to this.
(Otherwise, Event A may set the pointer to null, when B is newer and still alive)

Help files for classes

At lest some examples

Mixing colors w/ brightness curve

When mixing colors the color read is .pow(2), while the compared color (toWrite) isn't.

Optional fix:

• Sqrt when checking current value.
• Copy of LEDs array. Do .pow(2) only before FasteLED.show();

canvas and vga are now global

Should be within class JFixtureGraphics?

Make lastReceived threshold unqiue

Now they all send ping at the same time (since stopping of sending stopped at the same time).

Disable scope when in static mode

Perhaps change with 4 Views with color.

When switching mode: change ScopeView of all open Windows

JOsc: improvements

• Negative frequency
• Don't use sin(millis()), but increment a phase value.
• More wavetables. Square, saw.
• Msg to sync oscillator (reset phase).

Fix otaServer cmd

Check TimeShift

Modifiers

Array
InvertY

Always read synth values when opening GUI

For global GUI: read synth[0]

Should idle when Ota Update?

Now FastLED is still running for example.

Battery support notes

• 3S 18650 pack (7.5V - 12.6V).
• 3x 3.5Ah: 10,5A / u
• The DC PSU has 7A @ 5V.
• At @ 50% operation (3.5Ah): 3 hours.
• Use XL4016 IC (8A).
• Is USB-C suitable? (35W). Seems limited @ 3A.
• Use DC barrel jack.

Brightness to: synthBrightness and ESP-brightness

Some msgTypes are ignored when grouped

Due to using parseMsg() instead of receive() for parsing the individual msgs.
Solution: use parseMsg for all.

Switching between modes: brightness

When stopping st_brightness mode: brightness is 0.
So when switching to st_rgbw or static: re-send brightness of JFixture.sc

Option to send 16-bit PWM data?

It is currently not implemented @ dimmers, because of the ESPNOW-msg size when send as broadcast to multiple fixtures.

rgbw * numFixtures = 4 * 30 = 120.
Doubling this from 8-bit to 16-bit would cost 240 bytes.
