MySensors Fancy porchlight



  • So Im building a porch light using some ws2812b's. I am connecting it to openhab so I can do all kinds of fun things based on the time of year, football games and such.
    I would like to see if anyone can see in my code, sense I am a beginner, ways to clean it up as what I have already takes up 86% and I would like it to do a few more things. I would really like any feedback, including other things to do with it.

    Hello,
    a first thing to do when you want to clean up your code is to see everything that is repetitive and remove it. If it's repetitive, it must but changed either with a function (and you pass the changing values as parameters) or with an array.
    I cannot build your script because I'm missing the RGB.h file, can you give a link to all libraries you use in your script, or post the code of the other files in your arduino project ?



  • This is a neat idea, I'd be interested to know how you plan on having openhab control this.

    There are a couple of places you could replace the multiple if statements with case instead.

    Like this

    void loop() {
    
     switch (LEDMODE){
      case 0:
        matrix.fillScreen(matrix.Color(Color1.r, Color1.g, Color1.b));
        matrix.show();
    	break;
      case 1:
        if(++pass >= 2) pass = 0;
        if(pass == 0) colorWipe(orange, 10);
        if(pass == 1) colorWipe(blue, 10);
        matrix.show();
        String twitterHandle = "B R O N C O S";
        scrollText(twitterHandle);
        delay(100); 
        break;
      case 2:
        // You can put this code in loop()
        int r;
        int c;
        r = random(10);
        c = random(8);
        fadePixel(c, r, Color1, Color2, 140, 0);
        matrix.show();
        break;
      case 3:
        matrix.fillScreen(matrix.Color(Color1.r, Color1.g, Color1.b));
        colorWipe(Color2, 100);
        break;
      case 4:
        colorWipe(red, 30);
        colorWipe(orange, 30);
        colorWipe(yellow, 30);
        colorWipe(green,30);
        colorWipe(blue, 30);
        colorWipe(purple, 30);
        break;
      case 5:
        crossFade(orange, blue, 50, 10);
        crossFade(blue, orange, 50, 10);
        break;
      case 6:
        colorWipe(seanwhite,10);
        drawLogo();
        break;
      case 7:
        colorWipe(off, 10);
        break;
      }
    }

    The most efficient change will be to have only one method to log color change to replace

        if (message.sensor == 2) {
          Color1 = (RGB){firstValueI,secondValueI,thirdValueI};
          Serial.print("Color1 updated: ");
          Serial.print(Color1.r);
          Serial.print(" ");
          Serial.print(Color1.g);
          Serial.print(" ");
          Serial.println(Color1.b);
        }
    

    with

        if (message.sensor == 2) {
          Color1 = (RGB){firstValueI,secondValueI,thirdValueI};
          LogColorChange(1, Color1);
        }
    

    And method LogColorChange like this :

    void LogColorChange(byte colorID, RGB newColor) {
          Serial.print(F("Color"));
          Serial.print(colorID)
          Serial.print(F(" updated: "));
          Serial.print(Color1.r);
          Serial.print(" ");
          Serial.print(Color1.g);
          Serial.print(" ");
          Serial.println(Color1.b);
    }
    

    Of course it's even more efficient to use and array of colors so no need to have case for each color ID but I need to be able to compile the original script to avoid giving wrong code 🙂
