HARDWARE RMT ESP32 support...

[sticilface]

You probably knew this would come.... :) ESP32 support

any chance?

[Makuna]

I haven't received my Esp32 yet; but it is on the list.

[sticilface]

:) I just ordered mine from someone in london. not cheap, but same as getting it from china!

[sticilface]

so much RAM!

It's been a month, so just checking, I'd really appreciate if this library would work with esp32 arduino port, or better esp-idf itself!

[Makuna]

Actively working on this now.

[AdySan]

Yay!

#167
This adds bitbang method as the default, which can support pins below 32.
Hardware support is next

[Snigelson]

Do you know yet which pin it will be on?

[Makuna]

Hardware support will be able to also work on pins below 32. There are at least two outstanding issues on the esp32 core iot libraries that need to be addressed before I can publish the hardware support; otherwise the "shared" RMT hardware can only be used by one system at a time (NeoPixel, IR receive, IR transmit, only one at a time, etc).

Current work is waiting on the following two Esp32 IOF issues.
espressif/esp-idf#514
espressif/esp-idf#517

good to hear you are working on it ! Realy would like to see the ESP32 do the Neopixel while receiving data over wifi

[Makuna]

@Buffalchill Have you tried the current Esp32 support while doing WiFi? Theoretically it should work as the Esp32 is dual core. Its just going to take a lot of the CPU resources.

[Buffalchill]

@Makuna since yesterday i am trying out the ESP8266 with your WS2812B driver. It seems to work better than the Neopixel.h Thumbs up realy good work 👍

*edit: i had an older version of the libraray. i will check out the ESP32 asap.
Tanks a lot for sharing this lib !!!

@Buffalchill Standard data needed: What device/board are you selecting? What version of NeoPixelBus library is installed? Are you using the Arduino IDE or something else? What version is the IDE?
