WS2812 Sim OK but fails to built

[RGV250]

Hi,
I have just tried a simple demo for WS2812, it simulates OK but when i try to compile and download to the device I get an error
WS2812_Demo1.c:(.text+0x44c4): undefined reference to `nop' several times over.

Also not sure if I have WS2812 or WS2812B but I get the same error.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for letting us know. It looks like your the first to try this component on an rpi. Should work fine on an arduino or an esp32. I'll look into it for you and see if we can get it working.

Hi Ben, Any chance you might get a fix before you break up for Xmas.

Hi Ben,
It is getting near the time to get the LED's out again and wondered if the issue had been sorted.

Hi Ben,
I didn't get round to trying it last year but I have just looked as I would like some blinky LED's for Christmas and I still get the same error.

Hello.
I have just had a look into this
I have added a line of code to the internals file, which should hopefully allow your project to compile,

browse to this location using file explorer , it's hidden by default so just paste the link into your address bar.

Code: Select all

%ProgramData%\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\CAL

Place the attached Internals.c file.
If Flowcode is already open, then you will need to reload your project for the new component to work
If you run any component updates, then the internals.c you added will be overwritten, so it will stop working again (unless the component update has been pushed).

Can you let me know how you get on please.

Hi,
It compiles OK if I compile to hex so it should be OK, I will have to dig out a spare Pi and try it on the hardware later.

Thanks,
Bob

At least its now compiling, which is good.
The timing for WS281X can be very critical.
if works on hardware for you then I will get the internals.c added to the database.
