Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : bitbang ws2812 interferes with IR receive

I haven't poured through the manual yet, that's my next step, so if the answer is obvious, just give me a page number. I have a program that does a LOT of bitbanging data to long strings of ws2812 panels. I tried to run the IR decoder as shown in page 31 (manual 5.07.03). I get random wrong stuff (mostly 0's) for the key codes. I turn off the bitbanging and it works perfectly. Do I have to disable the IR interrupts until I pause the ws2812 transfers? Alternate between one and the other? It's late and I'll try more tomorrow. Any help is appreciated. |

Bitbang on the WS2812 is very timing critical, I believe. It's quite possible that interrupts are being disabled automatically during a string update. That would mess with the IR reader - or anything else that uses interrupts. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |
