    Dear Guys,

    How can I control an RGB ledstrip with this config may I add more MOSFAT or how ?
    Thank you very much.

    @Laces yes you can. The principal is the same, just one mosfet per channel.
    Search the forum for RGB or RGBW and you sould be able to find some examples.

        so this works now like a charm:

          Ah I have just built a test bed with this setup however it appears the circuit diagram in the Fritizing is actually not 100% correct. The red wire from the protoboard is connected to the GND of the Pro Mini - this confused me as I was using the GND/RAW pins to identify the cable color. If you flip the red/blue connections on the Pro Mini it will be right. Small issue I know but I had to reference another image to get the circuit to work.

            Hi Folks,

            I have build this in combination with a ethernet gateway. Works perfect, however, when for whatever reason the network fails, I cannot control my lights anymore.

            Is there a possibilty toi have it working also "stand alone" when the network fails?

            Grtz.

            KoenP

              Hi all!

              I'm using OpenHAB 2, and I have some problems with the sketch code "DimmableLightWithRotaryEncoderButton".

              1. When the encoder button is pressed, the switch in OpenHAB does not respond.
              2. When you turn the encoder knob one step, the value changes in two steps.

              Maybe you have encountered such a problem? Or maybe you can share a more modern sketch?

                  Does anyone use this sketch "DimmableLightWithRotaryEncoderButton"? I take it from the site (https://www.mysensors.org/build/dimmer) and it does not work with OpenHAB 2.

                    does anyone have working sketch -> DimmableLightWithRotaryEncoderButton.ino with Mysensor USB under DOMOTICZ + Arduino ? unfortunatelly phisical button dosn't work (no switch on / off) and there is no feedbeck from domoticz to Arduino to set level of dim. I have been straggling with the sketch for weeks, but haven't figured out , how to fix it. Mybe something has changed since lat update od sketch... and sorry for my english I'm not a native speaker:)

                        @hard-shovel I've already used this sketch, but still no feedback from domoticz to arduino (it does not dim) and the physical button doesn't work :( ehh...

                          here is what I use now->
                          As I can see When I change the dim level or click the switch in domoticz the yellow led on arduino blink but it changes nothing..

                           * Version 1.1 - Modified by hek to incorporate a rotary encode to adjust

                           * The sketch fades the light (non-blocking) to the desired level.

                            here is what I use now->
                            As I can see When I change the dim level or click the switch in domoticz the yellow led on arduino blink but it changes nothing..

                             * Version 1.0 - Developed by Bruce Lacey and GizMoCuz (Domoticz)
                             * Version 1.1 - Modified by hek to incorporate a rotary encode to adjust

                             * DESCRIPTION
                             * This sketch provides an example how to implement a dimmable led light node with a rotary 
                             * encoder connected for adjusting light level. 
                             * The encoder has a click button which turns on/off the light (and remembers last dim-level) 
                             * The sketch fades the light (non-blocking) to the desired level. 
                             *
                             * Default MOSFET pin is 3

                            Attached is a sketch that i have just tried with domoticz (running on a windows test machine) It works fine when used as a node with a gateway. Encoder/ Switch and webpage slider/switch operating.

                            However when set up as a single gateway node as your sketch, only the encoder function works, you can vary the lamp level from the slider or the encoder, but the domaticz on/off or the button does not operate correctly. it seems to be the way the messages are acknowledged

                            I also find that when i change the led dimmer from the encoder the led changes quickly, but it take about ten seconds before the dormoticz web page updates to show each new slider position.

                            The following Sketch needs the #define OPENHAB2 defined for use with openhab and undefined for Dormoticz

                             * DESCRIPTION
                             * This sketch provides an example how to implement a dimmable led light node with a rotary 
                             * encoder connected for adjusting light level. 
                             * The encoder has a click button which turns on/off the light (and remembers last dim-level) 
                             * The sketch fades the light (non-blocking) to the desired level. 
                             *
                             * Default MOSFET pin is 3
                             * 
                             *  Arduino      Encoder module

                            I maybe overlooking something obvious as i only have a couple of hours experience with domoticz.

                              @hard-shovel thanks a lot for you post and effort to test it!, I've tested also the version of sketch without rotary encoder and this one works fine.

                                So, does anybody use "Example with Rotary Encoder" with DOMOTICZ? I'm trying to force the sketch to work, but for time being without any result:(

                                  Hello,
                                  could someone possibly add a relay to the sketch? Have with all my dimmer problems so that they often dont turn off the LEDs. Maybe it's up to my controller software. And my programming skill are not really good.

                                  Thx Sarg666

                                      exit status 1
                                      'const class MyMessage' has no member named 'getType'; did you mean 'setType'?
                                      

                                      Can someone help?

                                      All the best!

                                      The example compiles for me in IDE 1.8.12

                                      Sketch uses 14338 bytes (46%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
                                      Global variables use 503 bytes (24%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1545 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
                                      

                                      Please verify that you are using the latest version of the MySensors library (2.3.2).

                                          @BearWithBeard I have upgraded the library V.2.3.2 and it compiles now. :)

                                          Thanks for your help!
