- Mon Feb 23, 2015 5:09 pm #10555 I have installed linux mint (again) and I am in the process of building PFalcons toolchain(last succseful run 68 minutes), when this completes I will flash the firware, even if the Linux toolchain is unsuccsessful I will still be able to flash an ESP later and let you know....

The code I posted from the bundled kit is all I have left(as I had posted it to the github) from the windows setup I had modified, as a BSOD killed the partition and that installation of Win7.......hence trying Linux again.......

- Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:34 pm #10567 Put the firmware on an ESP with 25 LPD6803 * 3 5050, jinx matrix 4*6 (+1), but the video in the link should be "plasma" colour cycle per pixel, this is only stepping, key data is being missed.

also this is my stripped down version of the code that also needs to be tested ... if you have time

It is probably related to the tpm2net timeout I put in ... I took a shot in the dark ... I am guessing it needs to be much bigger ... I will work on this ... thank you for your time!

I am hopeful for this version ... it is the one I am actually after to make work the best ...

I too use linux ... and I have followed both (and installed both) of these tutorials ... with much success ...

I have uploaded the "Rainbow" firmware, this seems to be interrupted at first? then settles down, then on connection to jinx it is pretty random, it has mostly each time performed a reset to the strip(a few times not), then it will attempt to display jinx output then the ESP will ignore packets(AP still running but no debug on serial at 115200?) and stop outputting to LPD......

Setup.......12V Led strip (groups of 3 5050), 5V LPD6803 * 25, 3V LDO with ESP8266-01(same as mirror but more LPD's).....
