Neopixel Basic P038 Multiple instances

Subject sums it all.

Is it possible to have multiple NeoPixel Basics plugins running ?

I have access to both of the strips but only with 1 instance in Devices.
At time, it is one or the other.
Not that it is crucial.

Thanks

I've created a pull request #3909 to add multi-instance as a feature for the NeoPixel (Basic) plugin (P038).

Most likely the Github action builds won't complete, what .bin file are you using?, then I'll upload that build here.

A local build for PR #3909, that should allow multiple NeoPixel (Basic) tasks to be configured and controlled separately:

Hi

It works … when you address the right one :roll:

Many thanks.

Can make time for the application now. Hopefully my part goes as slick as your support :lol:

Does this means standard implementation in future releases ?

Thanks again.

The Mrs asked for other stuff.

Technology when it works : goes from pfff superfluous to can you also do this :D

Yes, this is one of the plugins in the NORMAL builds, so it will be in nearly all available builds once it is merged and released (well, 'max', 'normal' and 'test' that is, the minimal and hardware specific builds don't have this plugin included).

Just tried to update an old setup.

Seems P038 multiple instances is no longer "working" in release after 20220427.

I have tried, I think all of them, after this release date, but no success.

Can you confirm ?

Thanks

There is no reason for that, has been tested recently here, so should work fine.

Hi Erased and Erased more, pushed an “empty” file … and succes

Sorry for late reply, ESP is a testbed for a lot of things and for some reason I tested another platform, which left crumbles to make me think ESPEasy was the solution.

Mae culpa …

I believe again and even more :D ESPEasy is alive again
