1Pin to control crystal chamber and accents leds

Proffieboards

I have a problem.

How can I program a single line of RGBW LEDs connected to a single pin to make some of them react differently?

Below is my code. PB says I have a blade error

i only change this line:
SubBlade(0,30,WS281XBladePtr<42, blade4Pin, Color8::GRBw, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4, bladePowerPin5> >()),
SubBlade(30, 42, NULL)

the code:

#ifdef CONFIG_TOP
#include "proffieboard_v2_config.h"
#define NUM_BLADES 6
#define NUM_BUTTONS 2

I have a solution for your problem:

Try changing it to:

SubBlade(0,30,WS281XBladePtr<42, blade4Pin, Color8::GRBw, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4, bladePowerPin5> >()),
SubBlade(30, 41, NULL)

It works! THANK YOU.

Now my only problem is that everything lights up like a rainbow…

One possible reason for that is that the pixels are not in fact RGBW.
If you use RGBW for RGB pixels, or use RGB for RGBW pixels, the result is usually rainbow-like.

You were right!!!

Now everything works. Time for fonts!! :slight_smile:
