Title: Sparky2 and WS2812B 8 Leds board from Matek?
Post by: micheleamerica on February 05, 2018, 06:26:55 pm

Hi all
I've got a Sparky2 FC running the 16.09 librepilot firmware in a custom built quad. I've also bought a WS2812B led board from Matek and would like to use it with this quad.
The thing is that I did not find any instructions for the connections and configuration.
Can anyone give me some pointers to install and configure this led board? Is it even possible
Thanks.
MA

Take a look here : Setup WS281x Led (https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LPDOC/pages/12812390/Setup+WS281x+Led)

Thanks... the leds do light up now  :)
Nonetheless I'm having a hard time finding the correspondance between what I'm seeing and the sequences as mentioned in the wiki pages.
Is there an issue if there are only 8 leds instead of the 10 mentioned in the wiki?
Are there other parameters (configurable and not something requiring a recompilation of everything) that may help in properly configuring the leds?
Thanks
MA

There is no issue with 8 leds, you can use only one led as well.
