Hello
I'm Strangistra and I work on a Adafruit Feather nrf52832.
I have the Arduino IDE 1.8.13 and I use the FastLed library 3.3.3.
I have a strange behavior with the Bluetooth connection.
I have a code to drive 4 RGB leds strips. For this I used the FastLed library and the MultiArray exemple.
#include <FastLED.h>
#define NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP 12
CRGB redLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];
CRGB greenLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];
CRGB blueLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];
// For mirroring strips, all the "special" stuff happens just in setup. We
// just addLeds multiple times, once for each strip
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
FastLED.addLeds<SK6812,A0,GRB>(redLeds,NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP);
FastLED.addLeds<SK6812,A1,GRB>(greenLeds, NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP);
FastLED.addLeds<SK6812,A2,GRB>(blueLeds, NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP);
FastLED.addLeds<SK6812,A3,GRB>(blueLeds, NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP);
}
void loop() {
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP; i++) {
// set our current dot to red, green, and blue
redLeds[i] = CRGB::Red;
greenLeds[i] = CRGB::Green;
blueLeds[i] = CRGB::Blue;
FastLED.show();
// clear our current dot before we move on
redLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
greenLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
blueLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
delay(100);
}
for(int i = NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP-1; i >= 0; i--) {
// set our current dot to red, green, and blue
redLeds[i] = CRGB::Red;
greenLeds[i] = CRGB::Green;
blueLeds[i] = CRGB::Blue;
FastLED.show();
// clear our current dot before we move on
redLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
greenLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
blueLeds[i] = CRGB::Black;
delay(100);
}
}
This code work correcly.
Now I add this code on the Adafruit Dual_Bleuart exemple :
#include <bluefruit.h>
#include <FastLED.h>
#define NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP 12
CRGB redLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];
CRGB greenLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];
CRGB blueLeds[NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP];

// Central uart client
BLEClientUart clientUart;

Serial.println("Bluefruit52 Dual Role BLEUART Example");
Serial.println("-------------------------------------\n");
// Initialize Bluefruit with max concurrent connections as Peripheral = 1, Central = 1

Bluefruit.setTxPower(-12); // Check bluefruit.h for supported values
Bluefruit.setName("Bluefruit52 duo");
// Callbacks for Peripheral
Bluefruit.Periph.setConnectCallback(prph_connect_callback);
Bluefruit.Periph.setDisconnectCallback(prph_disconnect_callback);
// Callbacks for Central

Bluefruit.Central.setDisconnectCallback(cent_disconnect_callback);
// To be consistent OTA DFU should be added first if it exists
bledfu.begin();
// Configure and Start BLE Uart Service
bleuart.begin();
bleuart.setRxCallback(prph_bleuart_rx_callback);
// Init BLE Central Uart Serivce
clientUart.begin();
clientUart.setRxCallback(cent_bleuart_rx_callback);

The Bluetooth connection don't work with this code. And the strange behavior is when I deactivate one strip led initialization, after this manipulation the Bluetooth function work correctly.
//FastLED.addLeds<SK6812,A0,GRB>(redLeds,NUM_LEDS_PER_STRIP);
I don't understand why the Bluetooth connection don't work when I have 4 RGB leds strips initialized?
I tested multiple pins(A5, 7, 30) and the result is same. When I define 3 RGB leds strips, the code and the Bluetooth connection work correctly but if I define one other led strip in this case the Bluetooth connection don't work.
I give a precision. I find the feather with Adafruit Bluefruit connect application but when I select Connect, after I have the message "Connecting..." and the result finish by a error message "Error to connecting to peripheral".
I tested to write a similar code without FastLed but with NeoPixel and in this case the code and the Bluetooth connection work correctly :
