RGBW setup
-
@LastSamurai : Great work. We had this working with Domoticz. Except only 1 color white did not respond after several color adjustments in Domoticz. PWM issue... We don't know. So currently I am using a Mi-Light controller. However with your post at my friends place we are going to try your solution. ;-) who wants to use mi-light if we can have MySensors. Just a question... With MiLight it is impossible to use White + RGB... WIth your code I think it should be possible to also use both LED simultaniously for a better color representation.. Don't know if it will melt the LED strip or fry the powersupply. Any suggestions??
@sincze Thanks!
Concerning the pwm issue: you need to make sure that you use pins that support pwm (in an earlier version I used one pin that didn't; now I do but you have to move the radio to another pin).
You want to light up the white leds and the rgb leds at the same time? No problem for my node, it allows you to use every channel independently (see my post above, it's a 4 value array).The problem might be that you have to send the right message. Domoticz (the controller I am using) only send either rgb values or a white value, so only one of them gets light up. If you find a controller that sends different values it should work just fine though. You might have to change the inputToRGBW() method where my node interprets the message send from the controller).
I wish you good luck, if you need help just ask :)

Hi, great to hear that someone else is using my project too. Perhaps we can get it to work for you too :)
First of all your mosfets should work too, I was using IRLZ44N mosfets too for my prototypes (although some people in the forum had problems with them I think).
All your leds turn on because the standard setting (when the node doesn't receive anything else) is to turn on every channel to 100 of 255.byte values[4] = {100, 100, 100, 100}; byte target_values[4] = {100, 100, 100, 100};Change that part if you don't want this behaviour.
The important part of your code for changing colors is the incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) function. In your logs I am never seeing any serial output from that function. So I guess you never get any new messages with new values?! Try to find out why that method never gets called.
I haven't worked with mysensors 2.0 yet so it might be a problem with the conversion or just with your radio setup. With 1.5 and my node it works well (I have 5 nodes running atm).@mfalkvidd @LastSamurai thanks a lot guys!
I remove pulldown resistors. I found code for RGB LED strip in here:
RGB_3DI adopt it for RGBW LED and add white LED's control:

The biggest differences between codes is that with this one I need to control every color separately and it has "party" mode (show) :))) It's just nice to have. :)
Now I'm trying to add a physical button that could control white color on/off.@LastSamurai I will try to understand why I don't get new messages with Your code. I will inform when I will got something.

What version of Domoticz are you using? The original code relies on l6 and l9 message length to distinguish between RGB and RGBW, while recently Domoticz started to send l7 and l10 messages.
So I had a node that worked, but stopped working.
I changed 2 digits in the code and it works againAlso, in case of length 9/10 message, you don't need to parse RGBW values as Domoticz ALWAYS sends 000000FF in this case.

@Toyman Oh, do they? I am using the newest version from the beta channel: 3.5691. At least thats how I configured my instance. I don't know if the format changed (haven't checked recently), but my nodes are working just fine.
And yes that parsing is not needed that was just in case they changed it later. -

I made a preliminary breadboard node, everything was working fine so I soldered it on a PCB, connected and… nothing happened. And then I noticed the change. As soon as I changed 6/9 to 7/10, the light was on :-) -

I'm using latest Beta version Domoticz V3.5727
In the logs, I can see that I receive 6 and 9 characters code:

I'm still on it, trying to understand...
-
I did just update to that version too and I (too) still see the 6 and 9 character long codes. Perhaps @Toyman is using some different configurations?
Anyways this is easy to fix in your sketch ;) -
Hi
Is any chance to create this PCB with connection with radio RFM69HW or other pcb controller RGBW with this radio ? Thanks for help.
