Embedded World 2021 - Infineon ModusToolbox PSoC 6 Drone 

 

Summary

In lesson 7 we will finish this Frankenstein drone setup by adding WS2812 Strip LEDs.  At the end of lesson one you will have the “WS2812 LED” block colored green.  Here is the architecture:

Learning Objectives

1. Have fun by adding another cool library – WS2812

Procedure

1. Create a new project
2. Add the IoT Expert WS2812 Library
3. Modify motor_task.c
4. Test

1. Create a new project

Start from the CY8CKIT-062S2-43012

Give the project a sensible name.  In this case IoT_Expert_Embedded_World_2021_Lesson7

2. Add the IoT Expert WS2812 Library

You need to find the IoT Expert WS2812 library and include it into your project.

3. Modify motor_task.c

Include the header file for the library.

#include "ws2812.h"

The number of LEDs in our system

#define		NUM_LEDS				(61)

Define some colors to use and initialize the LED strip

/* LED color array - 7 different colors each with RGB values */
uint8_t ledColors[7][3] = {
        { 0,  0,  0},	// Off
        {20,  0, 30},	// Violet
        { 0,  0, 50},	// Blue
        { 0, 50,  0},	// Green
        {30, 20,  0},	// Yellow
        {42,  8,  0},	// Orange
        {50,  0,  0},	// Red
};

 uint8_t ledColorRow = 0;
 uint8_t ledColorRowPrev = 0;
/* Initialize LED strips */
ws2812_init(NUM_LEDS, P10_0, P10_1, P10_2);

A bit of code to send updates to the LED strip based on the status of the motor.

/* Calculate LED color and update if it has changed */
            if(motorState == false)
            {
                /* Turn off LEDs */
                ws2812_setMultiRGB(0, NUM_LEDS-1, 0, 0, 0);
                ws2812_update();
                ledColorRowPrev = 0;
            }
            else
            {
                ledColorRow = 1 + (uint8_t)((( (uint16_t)motorSpeed - (uint16_t)RPM_MIN ) * 5) / ((uint16_t)RPM_MAX - (uint16_t)RPM_MIN)); /* Determine row to use */
                if(ledColorRowPrev != ledColorRow)
                {
                    ws2812_setMultiRGB(0, NUM_LEDS-1, ledColors[ledColorRow][0], ledColors[ledColorRow][1], ledColors[ledColorRow][2]);
                    ws2812_update();
                    ledColorRowPrev = ledColorRow;
                }
            }

4. Test

Let it rip tater chip

Here it is with the LED strips on…
