I think I've uncovered a downside to using 3 glorious LEDs per corner and having more than 7 panels:https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver/issues/85#issuecomment-436991978Are y'all implementing the fork of FastLED that uses DMA to help buffer the LED driving to avoid Wifi processes from taking up too many cycles/interrupts?... any chance you could, if this is indeed the root cause to my issue?Quote from: Allistar on January 30, 2019, 07:33:20 PMI took some slow motion on my iPhone to capture what I perceive to be a flicker. It actually seems to be some sort of weird, temporary color inversion for barely a frame. See below for imgur album of the frame before the flicker and the 'flicker' frame as well.Is noone else having this issue?! lolI have 2 other NodeMCUs wired up that i'll flash with v2 later today to troubleshoot with, but given that this had been flicker-free before v2, I don't think it's hardware related.https://imgur.com/a/oONDqxB

Hey.. i fixed my issue by clearing EEPROM, as well as SPIFFS.. problem fixed. as for Allstars issue i havent encountered it yet. having worked with the ws2812b leds, see here at Cine-lights, on my youtube channelmy channel... i have used bluetooth and IRRemote before and the ws2812b do not like them. they do not like interupts, even little ones. i have tried the command #define FASTLED_INTERRUPT_RETRY_COUNT 0 or otherwise on my fasteled fire examples and found it reduced the framerate to almost a standstill.. so removed it from all of my shared code. So Allstar it maybe worth trying, comment out that line to see if it helps. I have changed my setup from a single led a corner to 3 a corner to try and get closer to the original nano leaf. , i will be sharing my build etc on my channel, as well as all links to here, and obviously all credit to you guys.. here would be a little advice.., The added palettes in version 2.0 is a great add.., but some patterns do not work on this project. sinelon, juggle etc.. ripple would, but slowed down. As for sound reactive, ( As seen from my youtube channel) its what i have spent alot of time covering do not use a microphone.., aim for line in. yes its a long arse cable.. or you could add a second esp8266 to send the data .. an idea.!!??? as i do intend of adding wifi / wireless to my vu meters..keep up the good work..

Look at timezone lib: https://github.com/JChristensen/TimezonePart "Coding TimeChangeRules".

Use: europe.pool.ntp.org address for NTP server.The red LED is "standby" mode. So if you turn off moodlite and see one red LED it means everything is working as it should be.
Fill the NTP server value and press "save and restart" button. ESP should restart and start to communicate with NTP server. If it's not working you're doing something wrong or change something in the code. It's working for 100%.
Hey shiryou, its not that sinelon and juggle do not work, but more they do not suit this build. im guessing its down to personal taste., i do prefer a nice slow animation on this particular setup. if you have seen my vu meters, sinelon and juggle work quite well, but on the ring version those patterns don`t .. its just down to taste i guess.. i have used the msgeq7 board for a few of my setups, its a capable board and produces great sound reaction. To make it easier for people to build that particular vu meter i recommend the msgeq7 board, the downside is cost and the only decent one i can find is in the US.. i can get a 5 metre, 60 leds a metre led strip for £19, the msgeq7 board is £12 for mono, or £15 for stereo add £5 shipping.. it just doesnt make sense. i printed 10 pieces out of a roll of filament ( £13), The leds using 3 a corner worked out about a metre and a half ( £7), 2 x esp8266 (£8) , then a msgeq7 breakout board (£19 with shipping) ... yes i could build one of my own, then you have problems with fake chips ( which is quite common) then you have problems with other people building them. Like you i share what i do for free, i do not make any money out of it as its a hobby i enjoy. so i try and make things a simple as possible so i do not spend what little time i have helping people with there problems.., if that makes sense. My llne in version uses a couple of resistors and a capacitor and works as well as the msgeq7 for sound reaction. but as mentioned a rather long input lead would be needed. A wireless version using the esp8266 has been done seen here : &t=259s not sure if something like this could be added to this setup. Anyways, just ideas... But so far what has been done is brilliant. i finished converting from 1 led a corner to 3 this afternoon and hope to get a video together which will be a review of my build. hopefully it will push some more people your way.. keep up the great work!!!
ey @mannymiller!I have news! I received the ADMP401 mem microphone module i ordered from china today and ive been playing with it all the afternoon. It works a lot better than the arduino microphone MAX4466. Im looking for some simple code to test it and get some clear animations, right now im using some demo codes from here:https://github.com/atuline/FastLED-Demos but they are a little complex to test themI saw your moodlight reviews on cine-light! Glad you solved your problems. Now lets see if we can make some sound reaction effects and add them to the project!
