Hi, i have a ws2801 led pixels which i want to use as ambient lights.
the leds have a fault since the red and green are crossed, meaning when there should be a red light, i get red and the other way around.
is there a way to change the arduino code, and to "cross" the red and green colors in the code so that i'll get the correct colors ?
this is the arduino code :
#include <SPI.h>
#define LED_DDR DDRB
#define LED_PORT PORTB
#define LED_PIN _BV(PORTB5)
// A 'magic word' (along with LED count & checksum) precedes each block
// of LED data; this assists the microcontroller in syncing up with the
// host-side software and properly issuing the latch (host I/O is
// likely buffered, making usleep() unreliable for latch). You may see
// an initial glitchy frame or two until the two come into alignment.
// The magic word can be whatever sequence you like, but each character
// should be unique, and frequent pixel values like 0 and 255 are
// avoided -- fewer false positives. The host software will need to
// generate a compatible header: immediately following the magic word
// are three bytes: a 16-bit count of the number of LEDs (high byte
// first) followed by a simple checksum value (high byte XOR low byte
// XOR 0x55). LED data follows, 3 bytes per LED, in order R, G, B,
// where 0 = off and 255 = max brightness.
static const uint8_t magic[] = {'A','d','a'};
#define MAGICSIZE sizeof(magic)
#define HEADERSIZE (MAGICSIZE + 3)
#define MODE_HEADER 0
#define MODE_HOLD 1
#define MODE_DATA 2
// If no serial data is received for a while, the LEDs are shut off
// automatically. This avoids the annoying "stuck pixel" look when
// quitting LED display programs on the host computer.
static const unsigned long serialTimeout = 15000; // 15 seconds
void setup()
{
// Dirty trick: the circular buffer for serial data is 256 bytes,
// and the "in" and "out" indices are unsigned 8-bit types -- this
// much simplifies the cases where in/out need to "wrap around" the
// beginning/end of the buffer. Otherwise there'd be a ton of bit-
// masking and/or conditional code every time one of these indices
// needs to change, slowing things down tremendously.

// green, blue, then off. Once you're confident everything is working
// end-to-end, it's OK to comment this out and reprogram the Arduino.
