Programm with threads is not executed

[timvis]

Hey Tom, I run into a problem when I want to start a program where threads are defined.

./ws2812svr -f LED_program.txt

Nothing happens, console output:

Opening LED_program.txt.
READY
READY

LED_program.txt

setup 1,288,12;init;
brightness 1,0; fill 1,FFFFFF

thread_start 1
        #random_fade_in_out <channel>,<duration Sec>,<count>,<delay>,<step>,<sync_delay>,<inc_dec>,<brightness>,<start>,<len>,<color>
        random_fade_in_out 1,0,50,10,15,800,1,255,1,288,FF;
thread_stop 1

thread_start 2
        record_audio "plughw:CARD=Device,DEV=0"
        #light_organ <channel>,<color_mode>,<color(s)>,<color_change_delay>,<duration>,<delay>,<start>,<len>
        light_organ 1,3

Try it with "render" 😂

Where? I dont get it... I want to overlay the light organ with the effect. This works without errors, has only one thread defined:

setup 1,288,12; init
brightness 1,0; fill 1,FFFFFF

thread_start 1
        random_fade_in_out 1,0,50,10,15,800,1,255,1,288,FF;
thread_stop 1

#thread_start 2
        record_audio "plughw:CARD=Device,DEV=0"
        light_organ 1,3
#thread_stop 2

render 1

Btw: Is there a clean exit option, when you CTRL-C ? Eg. reset all and send 000000 to the LEDs.

setup 1,288,12; init
brightness 1,0; fill 1,FFFFFF
RENDER

thread_start 1
random_fade_in_out 1,0,50,10,15,800,1,255,1,288,FF;
RENDER
thread_stop 1

#thread_start 2 //why a # at beginning?
record_audio "plughw:CARD=Device,DEV=0"
light_organ 1,3
RENDER
#thread_stop 2

it's possible to write render1 or render2
Try it. But for ever Operation you need a render command. Otherwise nothing happens.

I use this Server in screen. For stop and start I use screen commands. You can build a Script that sends all Black to the Server and kill the Server process.

Can you check the commands work separately (without the threads)?

Also I'm afraid the combination will not work because the light_organ will always change the brightness of ALL LEDs no matter what the random_fade_in_out changed it to. For this to work you would need to multiply the brightness output of the light_organ command with the brightness of the random_fade_in_out which is not supported at this moment.

It's normal you get only READY on the console, it means the thread is started in the background. If you want to see what is going on add the "debug 1" command in the beginning of your text file.

the # before a command makes it a comment (it will do nothing).
