(i'm new) 4.1 non-communication.

RNoble · Nov 20, 2024

first, i'm new to C++ - my rudimentary background is in HTML/CSS/JS.
my 8yo wanted to learn to program LEDs because i have them on my motorcycle and all over the house. now we are learning C++ and Arduino.

there seems to be a communication problem with the 4.1.
the IDE doesn't show connection and i'm not seeing any settings that would change it. the orange LED is doing it's slow blinky thing. pressing the "program button" changes it to the red LED. nothing else seems to happen and the program doesn't run.

most recent verbose log; duplicates the information from previous attempts.

code that is running (with my notes, examples, and other mistakes), confirmed by running it on an UNO, which works great on the UNO.

Maybe you have a charger-only USB cable. You need a USB data cable for communication to Teensy. Many people get caught off-guard on this.

Once you establish communication, while (!Serial) ; line in your setup() function, will wait forever if not plugged into PC USB port. You can replace that line with a timeout like this: while (!Serial && (millis() < 3000)); and code will move ahead after 3 seconds.

BTW, how are you powering Teensy?

power for programming is coming from USB.
power to run the project after installation hasn't been decided.
LEDs are 12V and being powered separately.

i've run through 3 or 4 cables, but a lot of my cables are from unknown sources. tried a couple of others and ended up with this:

LEDs have changed, but the sketch isn't functioning (did do a power cycle). keep in mind this isn't even close to the final program; just testing so that i understand the functions of compiling and already known to work sketch.

i'm not sure what's happening, but it appears that it's not happy with the reboot request not being answered...?

You try to use COM3. Depending on your PC/laptop, COM3 could be an internal peripheral, and not the Teensy.

i don't have any setting that will change that. the system assigned it.

As noted by @BillFM , you have while (!Serial); in setup(). However, it’s not enough to be connected, you have to open the port, e.g. in the Arduino Serial Monitor, to allow the program to proceed past that. Or use his version with the 3-second timeout.

Please note for future reference that you must use the </> code tag to post a program, not the quote tag. The forum software eats [i] and uses it as a BBcode, making your text italic and nonsense of your code…

and the LEDs are going bonkers.

it seems the communication issue is resolved (partially?), but the sketch is misbehaving.

I promise you, if you examine your posted code carefully at the point it goes italic, you will find a difference

It looks like you’re now into the vagaries of using FastLED on a Teensy 4.1, which is beyond my knowledge. A forum search may turn up some wisdom there, often does.

One thing I can say is that the Teensy is massively faster than a UNO, so any code in the FastLED library which assumes a few instructions between pin changes gives enough delay will likely fail. Also, it’s a 5V device and Teensy is 3.3V; that’s not really enough for some WS2812 parts, though I find I usually get away with it.

Your setup code needs t start with

Code:

void setup() {
   
    Serial.begin(9600);
    while (!Serial && (millis() < 3000)) // for Leos

NOT

Code:

void setup() {
   

   
    while (!Serial && (millis() < 3000)) // for Leos
    Serial.begin(9600);

As far as code "going bonkers" I am not sure of the solution to the technical term "going bonkers" is.
Can you expand on this technical term.

It'd be better with

C++:

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    while (!Serial && (millis() < 3000)) // until connected, or 3s has elapsed...
        ; // ...do nothing

...otherwise you'll be repeating the (unknown) next statement for 3 seconds, or until the serial port is opened!

I thoroughly dislike the habit of putting the semi-colon for the empty statement on the same line as the while(), as it further obfuscates the fact that it's going to stall doing nothing. The forum needs three (or more?) things stated plainly at the top of every section:

Post your code, using the </> code tags button
Check your USB cable isn't a charge-only one
Make sure any while(!Serial) in your setup() is timed out, or you open the port, otherwise your program will get stuck

FastLED is a large and complex library. It can do a lot, but there's a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong. It also has an overly ambitious built in WS2812 driver that might have issues with longer LED strips or more complex usage. Diving into its details is on my to-do list... (no small task, as the FastLED code is built with a lot of complex C++ template stuff)

For the sake of checking your hardware, I'd recommend trying WS2812Serial. It is much simpler, and it uses the serial hardware and DMA so it's very reliable. The only downside is it only supports specific pins. In Arduino IDE, click File > Examples > WS2812Serial > BasicTest. You'll see the supported pins mentioned in the examples. I'd recommend testing with this example program, at least until you see your LEDs do something sensible rather than "bonkers".

My main advise right now is to use BasicTest, so you're testing your hardware with the simplest and most reliable "known quantity" software.

If Teensy is sending good LED data but your LEDs do something "bonkers", you may have 1 or more of a few common problems.

1: Ground connection between Teensy and the LED power supply is essential. If they don't have a good ground connection, the LEDs will hear pretty much random input.

2: Wrong LED config can matter. The most common problem is default RGB color with RGBW LEDs.

3: Today level shifting isn't usually needed, but it used to be a very common issue with older LEDs. It's still advisable for best reliability. Teensy's output signal is 0 to 3.3V. Most LEDs want 0 to 5V. Normally a 74AHCT125 or 74HCT245 chip is used to increase the signal. Do not use the slow bidirectional level shifters which use a mosfet transistor and 2 resistors. Those only make everything worse!

4: Power delivery for large LED projects is a huge challenge. If your LEDs work when you limit your data to low brightness, but then flicker or do weird things with high brightness, that's a pretty sure sign you have a power supply or power wiring issue. The ground connection is particularly important. If you have thin ground wires, or if you depend on long parts of the LED strip for ground connection, the voltage drop along the ground wire can corrupt your data which manifests as very bizarre problems where certain parts of the LEDs flicker while others seem to work fine.

After you have the hardware running well, one of the WS2812Serial examples shows how to use it from within FastLED. Once you have your hardware verified, if your problems turn out to be a FastLED software driver issue (it's rare but has come up a few times) you can probably use WS2812Serial from within FastLED to get highly reliable outputs.

But more likely, your "bonkers" LED behavior is probably one of those 4 common issues. My guess would be a missing ground connection. If you're stuck, showing us photos might be a good idea. This forum supports images paste-from-clipboard, so just copy your image with Ctrl-C in a graphics program and you can paste it right into a message. We're much better at helping with wiring issues when we can see photos!

One other complicated detail, as if all this wasn't enough, is there are many versions of FastLED floating around. Yet another reason to use WS2812Serial for the sake of hardware testing, and later return to the software side once your hardware is confirmed good.

Teensyduino comes with a copy of FastLED, which is the best one to use with Teensy. If you also installed FastLED using Arduino IDE's Library Manager or by manually copying files, Arduino IDE usually will notice and assume you meant for your installed copy to override the one that came with Teensyduino. If you have conflicting copies of any library, Arduino IDE will show a message when you have any compile error. Or if you turn on verbose output with File > Preferences (or Arduino IDE > Setting on MacOS) then it will print that library usage info every time.

If you see that message about duplicate copies of FastLED, even if the one you're using claims to have a new version number, you might be using an incompatible copy.

i had put this project away for a while and forgotten to link the power and board grounds together; the LEDs are no longer going bonkers.

i managed to get the WS1812 basic test to operate using all 438 pixels. when i attempt the FastLED sketch, the board seems to get hung in a reboot cycle (indicated by constant connect/disconnect notifications from the computer). FastLED isn't the library i'm intending to use, but i'd like to know what's wrong and understand it.

Repeated rebooting is probably from a memory fault and the default fault handler which reboots after 8 seconds.

You can use CrashReport to collect some info about what's going wrong.

If CrashReport doesn't work, or if it only raises more questions than answers (a pretty common outcome...), please give us a way to quickly and easily reproduce the problem. First check that the crash happens without LEDs connected. If so, post the complete code here. Even if it's as trivial as just changing 1 number from the code on msg #8, posting the exact code lets me or anyone else copy it into Arduino and upload to a Teensy 4.1 without any guesswork. Also please say which version of Arduino IDE and which version of Teensyduino you have installed, as those can sometimes make a difference.

but why would the board work with other sketches and the sketch work with other boards if it was a memory fault?

i did the basic tests with Octo and WS2812 and everything works fine; even tried the WS2812 Cylon test which does the same thing as my code (which was the FastLED Cylon base function).

however, i'm going to put the 12v LEDs away for a bit since my power supply melted the connector (which may have contributed) and i assess if/how i'm going to continue with that supply.

That could be a program memory fault due to use/abuse by the code in that sketch - if that is what it is. Not a problem with the hardware memory itself.

Here is the usage of CrashReport as it appears in a sketch that happens to be open. It will only start with SerMon connected - and if a Crash was detected that information will be displayed and it will then stop after showing the information:

Code:

  while (!Serial)
    ;  // wait
  if (CrashReport) {
    Serial.print(CrashReport);
    Serial.print("Any Key to continue ...");
    delay(50);
    while (1) {
      if ( Serial.available() ) break;
      asm ("wfi");
    }
    while ( Serial.available() ) {
      Serial.print((char)Serial.read());
    }
  }

Memory fault means a bug in the code which accesses memory in an illegal way, like regions without memory or a null pointer. Don't confuse with "faulty memory" would could mean the hardware is defective. Faults caught by CrashReport are about software.

i have cut out a lot of things that i didn't understand the purpose of in that sketch and added things from other sketches that i was attempting to grok, so it's likely that's a problem i caused.

that makes more sense.

i'm not totally enamored with this code. i only edited it, so i'm ok with starting over.

as i no longer seem to be having this issue, i'm considering the problem resolved. i appreciate the assistance; thank you.

That's great - if an 8 second auto restart occurs again the CrashReport may give a clue. That and the BreadCrumbs.

Code above may be generally useful as follows. It will sit until SerMon connects - might be better if pin(13) were flashed quickly in the while loop waiting for Serial to signal why it is doing nothing. But it has to wait for Serial (or any other stream you might send it to) or it will be cleared after the .print():

Code:

  if (CrashReport) {
      while (!Serial)
        ;  // wait
    Serial.print(CrashReport);
    Serial.print("Any Key to continue ...");
    delay(50);
    while (1) {
      if ( Serial.available() ) break;
      asm ("wfi");
    }
    while ( Serial.available() ) {
      Serial.print((char)Serial.read());
    }
  }
