Kaleidoscope Alternatives

kaleidoscope reviews and mentions

• fastled and rotary encoder
  3 projects | /r/FastLED | 19 Sep 2021

  I have a project that runs on the ESP32 and uses two interrupt driven rotary encoders. You can find the source on https://github.com/benpeart/kaleidoscope. It's not a simple sample but most of the code has nothing to do with the rotary encoders and can be ignored. Look at the code inside the '#ifdef ENCODER' in main.cpp for how to initialize and use the encoders.

• Flaky rotary KY-040 encoders
  1 project | /r/esp32 | 21 Jun 2021

  I added 3 .22 uf capacitors (one each between CLK, DT, SW and ground) to try and make them a little less noisy but I can't notice any difference between when they are there or not. On the software side, I'm using the Bounce2 library to debounce the switches and am using a state machine library I based on Oleg Mazurov's code (see the implementation on GitHub) for the rotary encoders.

• FastLED.Show not compatible with OTA updates on ESP32?
  1 project | /r/FastLED | 8 May 2021

  I'm building a digital Kaleidoscope (source) using FastLED running on an ESP32. I added AsyncElegantOTA and found that any attempt to do an OTA updated resulted in a crash:

• Unable to get FastLED 3.4 working on multiple strips in parallel with Teensy 4.0
  6 projects | /r/FastLED | 22 Apr 2021

  I'm working on a project where I have 4 WS2812B LED strips hooked up to a Teensy 4.0. I've set it up using the instructions for parallel output on pins 19,18,14,15 but I'm having issues where often, the LEDs don't update properly or sometimes at all. Even something as simple as a FastLED.clear(), FastLED.show() won't actually show the cleared LEDs.
