Is there a way to use atmowin with MPC-HC external player ?

 

[azzuro]

yes, with Live View iside Atmowin! but HIgh CPU usage

Hi there,

so i found a new project to do. Have same problems with my led strip. Maybe some off you can help me with it.

I´m playing around with a WS2801 32 LED stripe and Arduino Uno.

Target: Use AtmoWin with Atmoduino!!!

Problem: Test Leds Programm is running fine, no problems.......
Trying to run Atmoduino on the Arduino brings up the problem.

Frist the LEDs stay dark. After playing around with it i found out that changing the Com port speed to 9600baud brings changes. With different speed the LEDs are flickering around.
When i use the color changer mode in AtmoWin i see some leds going on showing colours some leds stay out.
Yesterday only the first 5 Leds turns on and the rest 27 Leds stay dark.
So i see that the stripe is reacting to the controll commands but it does not do the correct display of the color.
When switching the AtmoWin mode to Static color the stripe freeze but does not display the static color...........

So i think there is a problem with the data transfer between the PC and the Arduino Com Port.
Do anybody know about that problem? What can i do to get it to work correctly?

Hi Olli123, try to change value in FastSPI_LED.setDataRate(0);

try FastSPI_LED.setDataRate(2); ------- (this one had problem with my setup, I use strand, not stripe)
or
FastSPI_LED.setDataRate(3); ------- (this one works flawlessly)

EDIT: Open a new thread and post all your AtmoDuino.ino settings. I'll help you from there.

Hey thanks,

found it already. There have been two problems at once.

First was a crack behind the first LED, so when i changed position of my strip it starts stuttering around. So i cut off the first led and this was fine. The second one was the wrong data rate. I think DataRate(4) or even (5) are best but i have to test it out in live tv.

I mentioned that the different version of AtmoWin brings ups different behavior of my stripe. In example using latest AtmoWin from RickDB start glowing my leds at values greater than >100.

Using Mediaportal version of AtmoWin start led at value >1. Looks better for me.

I also noticed when choosing a static color while moving the button from left to righ sometimes a wrong color flickering between the fading. Pressing OK button sets the static color without problem.

Next step is to mount the stripes to my tv and test it out............

you can try current versions of Ambilight-plugin and Atmowin-Mod from the german thread.
(plugin and atmowin from these packages have to be used together, application language is mostly english)

Highlights:
- real Color Management System (CMS) to get natural Colors with any stripe
- switchable color profiles (remote control)
- performance enhancements/ lots of bugfixes
