hey people,
i’ve been working on an interface for 3 TLC5940s using Max and CmdMessenger (aka messenger, simplemessagesystem)
I finally got it working to the point of taking full advantage of the 12 bit duty cycle of a general red green and blue variables, but now I’m looking to expand to a full 48 (16 RGB) channel control system.
A switch statement took care of parsing and atoi for those 3 variables from the earlier sketch, but now that i’ve upsized nothing seems to happen. everything on the max side is fine, but I think I’m missing something from my sketch.
I’m using ben’s callback method only, I’m pretty positive it’s from the buffer length, but i have no clue what to put it at for the number of bytes I need to parse.
void bens_msg()
{
int seq;
long value;
// Message data is any ASCII bytes (0-255 value). But can't contain the field
// separator, command separator chars you decide (eg ',' and ';')
cmdMessenger.sendCmd(kACK,"bens cmd recieved");
for (seq = 0; cmdMessenger.available(); seq ++ )
{
char buf[64] = { '\0' };
cmdMessenger.copyString(buf, 350);
if(buf[0])
cmdMessenger.sendCmd(kACK, buf);
value = strtol(buf, NULL, 10);
switch (seq) {
case 0:
r1 = value;
break;
case 1:
g1 = value;
break;
case 2:
b1 = value;
break;
case 3:
r2 = value;
break;
case 4:
g2 = value;
break;
case 5:
b2 = value;
break;
case 6:
r3 = value;

case 7:
g3 = value;

b3 = value;
break;

r4 = value;

case 10:

case 13:

case 36:

case 37:

break;
case 38:

case 39:

case 40:

case 42:

break;
case 46:

break;
case 47:

}
}
}
everything compiles fine btw.
best,
