I've built my own arduino uno clone from a breadboard tutorial but used glassculptures and wire instead of a breadboard, so this could be a hardware problem but I don't think so, have checked it very carefully.
I want a regular blink on pin 9 and a fading of 4 neopixles on pin 11.
All works good, but the fading stops after a while (sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 15min...)
It stops in a random brightness (I think?) and stays there. The blink on pin 9 keeps gooing fine.
Could someone please check my code if there is something in it that could cause this?
Im not a good programmer at all.... Hope someone can help me, thank you so much.
#include <TimerOne.h> //hjärtat
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> //lungan
#define PIN 11 //lungan
const int heart = 9; //hjärtat
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = Arduino pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(4, 11, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
// IMPORTANT: To reduce NeoPixel burnout risk, add 1000 uF capacitor across
// pixel power leads, add 300 - 500 Ohm resistor on first pixel's data input
// and minimize distance between Arduino and first pixel. Avoid connecting
// on a live circuit... if you must, connect GND first.
void setup() {
//lungan:
strip.begin();
strip.show();
//hjärtat:
pinMode(heart, OUTPUT);
Timer1.initialize(1000000); //hur snabbt hjärtat slår 15
Timer1.pwm(heart, 70); //hur länge varje slag lyser
}
void loop() {
//lungan:
brighten();
darken();
}
// dimrar upp från ljusstyrka 10 (25) till 255
void brighten() {
uint16_t i, j;
for (j = 10; j < 255; j++) {
for (i = 0; i < strip.numPixels(); i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, j, j, j);
}
strip.show();
delay(20); //tid stannar i upplyst läge ? tid att dimra? 20
Serial.println(j);
}
delay(50);
}
// dimrar ned från 255 till 10 (25)
void darken() {
Serial.begin(9600);
uint16_t i, j;
for (j = 255; j > 10; j--) {
for (i = 0; i < strip.numPixels(); i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, j, j, j); //kall vit i, j, j, j
}
strip.show();
delay(20);
Serial.println(j);
}
delay(900); //?
}
I don't know what happens in the serial monitor, it didn't work when I checked (offcourse).
