<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> dngrs (spookyvisiongithub) If you have useful combinators or such for LEDs, I'd be interested in supporting it in `choreographer` (once I understand why I would want it)
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> note to self: disable element notification sounds 😆
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> DIG
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> jamesmunns:beeper.com: working on it as we speak :D
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> ahhh
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> I get it
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> fuzzing the value over time to hit a simulated higher resolution color pallette? That's neat!
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> I currently update my LEDs at 200Hz, so I'd totally have time to dither, and at lower brightnesses, they are in fact chonky
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> (even worse for my character panels, which are already blinding at 32/255 brightness
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> jamesmunns:beeper.com: exactly - fadecandy and fastLED both support this, but they're both C++ ...
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> I have a few of those, but I'm also stubborn
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> fair
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> and I wasn't sure whether those would introduce timing issues
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> They don't seem to!
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> "works on my machine!"
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> cool, mental note!
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> Also, NXP AN10441 is great for this
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:beeper.com> I throw one of those on like any LED related boards I make, it's a fet and two resistors, works reasonably well at every strip I've thrown at it
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> ah so that's this mysterious "fetlife" people keep telling me about
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> (usually I'm a separate clock line kinda guy, but I have so many spare WS's...)
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> my cheater's solution is to have a ws2812 on my board, since they do work at 3.3 and the DO pin will shift it to 5V for you
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> it's just vdroop that kills you
<re_irc>
<@dngrs:matrix.org> 9names: that's kinda what happens in my situation as well, just with an additional diode that makes things kinda sorta work

<@gauteh:matrix.org> Does anyone have any experience with Olimex ARM-USB-OCD with probe-rs?
<re_irc>
<@yatekii:matrix.org> I do not think that works
<re_irc>
<@adamgreig:matrix.org> I think it's a FTDI chip, so might work for jtag risc-v?
<re_irc>
<@adamgreig:matrix.org> but not in general
<re_irc>
<@gauteh:matrix.org> Maybe it works over openocd / pyocd ...?

<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> can i use a DAC as a substitute for a potentiometer?
<re_irc>
<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> (as an input device, rather than a voltage regulation device)
<re_irc>
<@adamgreig:matrix.org> You can buy digital pots which is probably more what you want
<re_irc>
<@adamgreig:matrix.org> Whether a dac can be used instead of a pot depends on the thing reading it
<re_irc>
<@adamgreig:matrix.org> So, maybe? If the pot is just making like 0-3.3v for some other thing's adc then a dac will probably work
<re_irc>
<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> The thing reading it is an electronic speed controller board (specifically pololu JRK G2).
<re_irc>
<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> At this point i could probably implement the control loop in software, but was hoping the DAC would have achieved the same result.
<re_irc>
<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> Unfortunately this JRK board doesn't seem to be able to meaningfully sense the DAC output from my stm32f446, so i guess i would need a digital pot, or manually implement the control loop in software.
<re_irc>
<@theunkn0wn1:matrix.org> Software it is, thanks for the digital pot suggestion.
