@NeverDie I watched a vlog (unfortunately in Swedish) about it about a week ago. The owner had used it for two months without charging it and was very enthusiastic about it. He said he used it for getting notifications, so he must be using the bluetooth feature.

Dave does have a point though that swapping the battery every 2-3 years isn't that cumbersome.

On the other hand, the charging capabilities of the Toyota Prius might have been considered a gimmick when it was introduced in 1997, and today we have electric cars with fairly long range. Technology gets better, and must start somewhere.

@kiesel the Pi gateway only supports the new driver. There is no way to compile it for the old driver.

@NeverDie here is an alternative that uses TEG for power https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smartwatch-powered-by-you-matrix-powerwatch-2

@stevefury sorry, I don't understand. Which modifications are you referring to?

NodeManager was created by @user2684

@monte with the large flash space on the nrf5, what you are suggesting should be quite feasible. I have no experience with NodeManager, but from what I've understand it is a nice abstraction. Maybe NodeManager can be used to also switch between different features in a formware? Or maybe it is possible to draw inspiration from the NodeManager to create something new, without having to start from scratch.

@Honza-Liška there is, but it is too complicated for me to understand.

I haven't read this myself, but it looks interesting if someone has access to an active ieee subscription: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8890666/

@Beeblebrox666 you can use them just like any other strip, with the limitation that not all leds can be controlled individually.

@Beeblebrox666 good work on isolating the problem.

There are led strips that light upp three and three. I have one myself (purchased by mistake)

It is also known that sellers on Ebay and Ali send different stuff for the same product. This happens from time to time.

So the simple explanation is that the seller sent you a different type of strip.
