Function Documentation

mbl_mw_neopixel_clear()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_clear	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand,
		uint8_t	start,
		uint8_t	end
	)

Clears pixel states on a strand.

Parameters

board	Pointer to the board to send the command to
strand	Strand number to clear
start	Pixel index to start clearing from
end	Pixel index to clear to, inclusive

mbl_mw_neopixel_disable_hold()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_disable_hold	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand
	)

Disables strand holding.

The strand will be refreshed with any LED changes programmed while the hold was active

Parameters

board	Pointer to the board to send the command to
strand	Strand number (id) to release

mbl_mw_neopixel_enable_hold()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_enable_hold	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand
	)

Enables strand holding which will not refresh with any LED changes until the hold is disabled.

This let you to form complex LED patterns without having the strand refresh with partial changes.

Parameters

board	Pointer to the board to send the command to
strand	Strand number (id) to hold

mbl_mw_neopixel_free_strand()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_free_strand	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand
	)

Frees NeoPixel resources on the MetaWeard board for a specific strand.

Parameters

board	Pointer to the board to send the command to
strand	Strand index to free

mbl_mw_neopixel_init_fast_strand()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_init_fast_strand	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand,
		uint8_t	gpio_pin,
		uint8_t	n_pixels,
		MblMwNeoPixelColorOrdering	ordering
	)

Initializes memory on the MetaWear board for a NeoPixel strand with a fast operating speed (800 KHz)

Parameters

board	Pointer to the board to send the command to
strand	Strand number (id) to initialize, can be in the range [0, 2]
ordering	Color ordering format
gpio_pin	GPIO pin the strand's data pin is connected to
n_pixels	Number of pixels to allocate memory for

mbl_mw_neopixel_init_slow_strand()

METAWEAR_API void mbl_mw_neopixel_init_slow_strand	(	const MblMwMetaWearBoard *	board,
		uint8_t	strand,
		uint8_t	gpio_pin,
		uint8_t	n_pixels,
		MblMwNeoPixelColorOrdering	ordering
	)

Initializes memory on the MetaWear board for a NeoPixel strand with a slow operating speed (400 KHz)

Parameters
