Neopixel support on 1LC?

[Th0mpy]

@dc42 +1 for me as a future enhancement

@dc42 That sounds good, I am aware that I anyway would need a small level shifting PCB, so adding a dedicated regulator to not overwhelm the LDO would be fine. I just really dont want more wires in my cable chain

You wouldn't need a level shifter, because the outputs of the 1LC have 5V signal levels.

I've added this to the firmware wish list.

Yep, that would be really great.
The new voron toolhead is coming soon with nozzle lights (and a bling lit logo.)

Would be nice to combine with the 1LC. I need only two max three leds.

Voron Design Stealthburner yet to be public

Yeah as Gixxer said this is the driver (it equips three RGBW discrete neopixel leds)

Also our Klipper "colleagues" (which always are some meters ahead....of us) already have a tool-board with that supported...
@dc42 Thanks for moving this forward and make it a Christmas gift

Hi @dc42, I know this is probably one of the least important features to implement, but I was still wondering if you have a timeline for this. I suppose it will not come with RRF 3.4?

thanks anyways,
Niklas

@dc42 Had a glance at this in the last 3,5 months?

@oc_geek

Just chiming in to add a +1 for me on this as well. Would be helpful.

Adding a +1 from me. With the new Voron Extruder the Stealthburner hitting RC1, this design is largely finalized and will be released soon. The Duet 6HC & Toolboard combo makes a very good setup for this printer with the features it has. It also eliminates the need to send 20+ wires through 3 x cable chains to the tool head with the can bus. That, and Thomas Sanladerer built his Voron 2.4 with a Duet meaning his 417K subscribers got to see that build. Almost half a million people viewed his Voron videos using a Duet by the stats. I am sure there are a lot of people buying into the Duet ecosystem for this printer just from these videos alone so perhaps if the full Voron 2.4 isn't supported because of neopixels on the tool board then I think there's a compelling reason to add it to the firmware. @dc42 would you have any thoughts on this?

Hey

Any news about it?

[dc42]

@index4d I intend to add this support in firmware 3.5 but probably not in the first beta. See also my post here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/30027/duet-3-toolboard-1lc-io0-input-output-dual-purpose-neopixel/4?_=1665066620511.

Hi,

would you share the stl from your umbilical-1lc-mount-combination?

Thank you very much,
Pierre
