Sly11[Admin] Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi Manual, I have a question is it the same din pin on each of the drivers, or is it a different pin for each colour? I am doing one of these builds and just need to make sure. If they are all the end connector, that is easy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balders Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yey, the forum is back, I have all but one of my components here, can't wait to start my build. Only thing missing is mp3 card, so I'll hopefully be able to crack on with the led's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbenz Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Finishing 2nd build tonight, going to put it into nerf tfa stormtroopers blaster communication from the JRS DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am stuck.......the code section I have added as Tie fighter blaster is not working.. Basically I and running with 4 weapons modes. Ell blaster, rapid fire, stun and the Tie, but for some reason the first 3 activate and the green led and sound for tie do not. The code looks good but I must have missed something. Poodoo! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balders Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Question - the LED drivers I have bought have PWM marked on them. Will this work with the code/arduino or have I purchased the wrong thing? I wired one LED up with a driver straight to a 8.4v lipo, and it worked at max brightness, so I know the drivers are ok if you don't put anything into the pwm inputs.

ptbenz Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 That should work. Best bet is try it and see communication from the JRS DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balders Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 That should work. Best bet is try it and see communication from the JRS DL True, I bought 5 drivers, so I guess if I break one it wouldn't matter anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyone Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) the pwm input on led driver is needed to turn on and off the led via pwm-digital pin of arduino (PWM pins: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11.) with PWM you can control LED brightness Edited September 4, 2015 by skyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balders Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 So on my picture, there are two solder points for PWM. I guess I can find out by trial and error, but do you happen to know which one I need to use? Sorry, I'm fairly new to this. I did however get my hengstler counter working tonight!

skyone Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Got my counter working for shoot and reload, but not sure if change weapon is working.<br><br> cool! keep in mind that if you use my code, when you change weapon it should keep memory of the ammo available for each weapon.

Balders Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ahhhh! I was expecting the counter to reset when changing weapons! In which case it's hopefully working correctly. My mp3 player has still not arrived (everything else has been here for several days) so I really can't progress much, although I will try to get the PWM LED's working maybe tomorrow.

Even if the files are named 001.mp3, 002.mp3 ecc... this sound module will read the files in the order they were added on the card, that means it will not respect the order by files name (and that means you can't call the mp3 files by name order with arduino code!). That's why you need to sort them after copied, follow the instructions on page 1 of this topics as far as for the green led on pin 9, it seems ok, try to test it, turning on few seconds at startup, maybe it's a soldering problem Edited September 14, 2015 by skyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also checked the connections and sorted the green Led out, well almost, as know it just stays on after the sound has finished, until i either reload the weapon or change weapons.

Balders Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Skyone, I need some help please. I've got everything wired up (apart from MP3 player which I fried, new one on way down). However, my main LED RGB is always on, and gives a small "pulse". I've uploaded a short video to demonstrate. Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope... https://youtu.be/yE_YU3G6zs0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Goatee[TK] Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 That's the way it's programmed. ;-) you can change the pulse speed in the arduino code.<br> I think I used a PWM output, not an analog one. The pulse steps are finer and it looks much more pulsing then blinking. <br> Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balders Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) But rather than pulse like that (in "standby") shouldn't the LED be off completely? I am only just starting to learn arduino, so forgive my lack of knowledge...is this something to do with the pulses being too "quick" for my led driver boards, hence why it's on all the time? Any help for a newbie very welcome Note in the video, I hadn't pressed any buttons. The hengstler works as per design, so I think I'm close. Edit: OK, by process of elimination, I've found that Pin D11 is the one that causes the LED to blink as per the video. It does that if I connect any of the driver-side pwm wires to D11 (regardless of whether the others are plugged into D9 and D10). None the wiser at the moment. Edit 2: Shouldn't this piece of code turn the main LED off altogether, or is it because it's not reading the PWM value? I thought pwn was analogwrite? digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn off the RGB Led digitalWrite(ledPin9, LOW); digitalWrite(ledPin10, LOW); Edited September 15, 2015 by Balders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
