Configuring BladeID, Blade Present and multple Blades simultaneously

[profezzorn]

No resistor = infinite resistance.
Usually it comes up somewhere in the 150k range becasue of the limits of measurements.

@baldusi

only has a single Data Line, but his PCB pixels are GRB and his blade is GRBw. Can he use different definition of GRB/GRBw within a SubBlade?

@profezzorn

Currently, there is no way to do that in ProffieOS.
It’s possible to make a hack that supports it though.
Unless you or your friend would like to write the code for it, I suggest filing an issue on the github bugtracker, and I will try to implement it when I have the time.

So I see this is now a feature request on GitHub, which made me re-read the SubBlade Wiki page.
It says "Since you can't have two blade definitions for the same string, you must use NULL to make multiple SubBlades refer to the same string of pixels.
which sounds perfectly fine if you’re splitting up the LED strip itself. But the template takes a blade definition, and therefore in theory, couldn’t using a different one for a set of pixels NOT on the same strip work instead of NULL and using the blade definition from the previous call to SubBlade() ?

That may compile, but it’s not actually going to work.
