Cool! I'd like to include it as an example with the BlinkyTape Arduino library, at least: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/blinkytape_arduino Feel free to send a pull request if you have a github account, or you should be able to attach it to a fo…

Are you running the build script from git bash? Please post any output that show up in the terminal when you run the command. The r1cross certificate is only useful if you also paid GlobalSign for a signing certificate- it's probably best to disa…
-
Another thing that just came to mind is that the script requires you to have a valid windows software signing certificate- you'll either need to get one (and replace the blinkinlabs one with your own), or modify the script to remove the signature pa…

Cool modification! Hmm- do your modifications run when launched from Qt Creator? Can you post the output from running the release file? Also, you'll need to install several tools, were you able to install the exact versions mentioned here: ht…

@keno1964 said: Question, is the firmware used to restore different through different versions of pattern paint? I'm wondering if I could install 2.1.1 again, and as long as I don't restore firmware from it, if the quirky BT wouldn't continue wor…

Hi all- TLDR: Here is a new version of PatternPaint (version 2.1.2), with a rewritten upload procedure. If you've been experiencing this issue, please try it and let me know if it makes an improvement for you: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/Patt…

Great- any of those should be fine.

Do you have a link for the battery? USB phone chargers are what we recommend as the simplest and safest way to power these blinkies, something like this pack: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LRK8IV0/ref=twister_B01AI55GD2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 …

Yes! It should work fine, as long as the extra strips are WS2812b or NeoPixel type. You can adjust the strip length in PatternPaint by going to Tools->Scene Configuration and putting the number of pixels in the 'Height' field. The controller supp…

(that one was meant for the issue tracker: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/issues/166)
-
Ok, cool! The 1 second rule isn't required at all; it was intentional behavior so that a single button could do both brightness (quick press) and pattern change (press ~1 second). The above example is a simplified version of the one that we use in t…
-
@puxnstx It sounds like you're seeing this same issue- should be possible to revive both of the broken ones once we fix the problem (or try @bigtrav261 's method of using the older PatternPaint!) I'm back to work after a short break for Christmas…
-
Are they showing exactly identical patterns? If so, you can probably simplify the setup by using a single controller, and connecting the data output from the single controller to the data input on both LED strips. For the button press, the easies…
-
Hmm, sorry they are giving you trouble. It's possible but very unlikely, we test them all individually before packing them. What kind of LED strip are you using, and how many LEDs are connected to it? Also, were you able to connect to them initia…
-
Thanks for the report! That is helpful
-
Any chance the firmware is functional when it fails at 50%? There is a second issue with the 2.1.1 update where the actual firmware upload appears to work, but the verification stage where it reads it back fails: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/Patt…
-
@slyrunner @klight Can you try installing this version, and seeing if the firmware and let me know if it improves things? The main change is to increase the timeout length during device communication. I can brick a device by loading bad firmware ont…

We've had a few more reports of this happening with PatternPaint, and I've been able to reproduce the issue at least once on my Windows 10 machine. There's a bug report for it here: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/issues/166 And I'm …
-
Hmm, can you try the email again? It appears to be correct in the code (and works on my machine): https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/blob/master/PatternPaint/gui/systeminformation.cpp#L93 @slyrunner said: Error Sorry, we we…

As long as they are data cables they should be fine- does the computer recognize your phone as a device when it is plugged in? A couple more questions- did the BlinkyTape work previously? If not, send us a message at: [email protected] and w…

Quick question- do you have a different USB cable you can try?
-
Here's an updated version of PatternPaint that should fix this issue: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/releases/tag/2.1.0
-
@techiechris: Unfortunately, there hasn't- it's simple to implement in the firmware, however it's a little more tough to integrate into PatternPaint. An updated version is still on the radar, though.
-
Ok, they should be updated and signed correctly now. On a fresh Windows 10 machine, I had to run device manager, and then manually select the 'Update Driver Software' option.
-
Hi! At the moment, the EightByEight is only working with Arduino as a programmable badge. We'll have support for it in PatternPaint soon, though. For Windows 10, the Microsoft-supplied TTYACM driver in Windows 10 should be compatible with the ser…
-
We use 200ohm in production. It's not critical unless you have a long (>1m) wire between the board and the LEDs. Whatcha making? edit: correct the value
-
Great!
-
Sorry to hear they are giving you a problem! The button is attached to the same pin as before (and is tested during production), so they at least worked at one point. The first thing that comes to mind is- how many LEDs do you have attached? We h…
-
Ok! I managed to get a BlinkyTape into a state where it goes through the update process, but doesn't actually rewrite any of the firmware. By chance, have you loaded custom firmware onto the BlinkyTape using Arduino?
-
Hi there, Apologies that this functionality hasn't been working. I'm working on getting it updated now. There's a new Arduino library: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Arduino/releases And I'm working on a new PatternPaint release now …
