klipper-led_effect VS moonraker-obico

Hello group. I have a question about neopixels. On my Marlin setup I defined Neopixel and Neopixel2. All LEDs ran off of the same pin. I was looking at this example. https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect/blob/master/docs/LED_Effect.md On this it shows 3 separate pins. So now I am confused. Can someone please explain to me how this works. I am just a beginner at this.

Neopixel Led’s: https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect

However, it is possible using klipper_led-effect

I'd suggest playing around with that until you feel like you are comfortable with it, and then if you want to start looking into animations and such you can check out klipper-led_effect. Just be warned (IMO) it's kind of confusing to configure.

Yeah as a matter of fact klipper-led_effect literally just added this option yesterday.

Ok cool. What I'm trying to do is to add a Neopixel ring to the underside of my build plate (don't worry, I've already sorted out thermal insulation so they don't burn) and have it change colour automatically based off certain parameters. I want it white and breathing slowly when it turns on, changing from blue to red while it's heating and between 30⁰ and 60⁰, then breathing red while it prints. Finally it would turn green upon the print completing, and then go in reverse order from red to blue and back to white as the bed cools and lands below 30⁰. I've been researching this shit all day and have started to build a led_progress.cfg as instructed by this page, however, according to this page I can have all kinds of control over the lights.

Personally I just use tailscale for remote access but Obico (spaghetti detective) is supported with a moonraker extension

moonraker-obico

Obico for Klipper is still in beta so we would appreciate you leaving feedback on our github if you have any: https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/moonraker-obico (disclaimer: I am one of the team members at Obico). Thanks for checking out the project and letting us know what you think!

In case you used to use this on octoprint, the spaghetti detective released a beta version for klipper. I haven't had a chance to try it, but plan to once I'm back up and running. They do warn it is very very beta. May be issues using it.

We have a very early alpha version: https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/tsd-moonraker . If you run into issues with it, give us a yell in our discord server: https://discord.gg/hsMwGpD

We have something in the super early alpha testing stage that works with moonraker (hence fluid or mainsail): https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/tsd-moonraker . Give it a swing if you feel adventurous. :)

The Spaghetti Detective has something in beta that supports moon raker (and hence fluidd): https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/tsd-moonraker
