Driver for MY9231/Sonoff B1?

Post by mowo94 » Wed May 08, 2019 5:57 pm

Someone managed to write a driver for that bulb?

There are two MY9231 in series, so i tried using SPI to write an bytearray, but neither software nor hardware SPI worked.
Then i customized/used the MY9221 lib from mcauser, but that didn't work either.

It might be some timing issue, i only got some random color using the APA102 driver.

I've used the my9221 before. I don't know what's different compared to the my9231 (other than being able to sink more current) but I remember that they aren't quite SPI devices, you have to do the latching process on just the data line (whereas a SPI driver will always drive both lines).

There's no way that something based purely on machine.SPI is going to work (or the APA102 driver, the data format is different).

Can you share your code and how you've wired it up?

I tried to port some Arduino code, which worked befor

Code: Select all

#Port from Tasmota/Arduino Code 

from machine import Pin
from utime import sleep_us as sleep

clockPin = Pin(14, Pin.OUT)
dataPin = Pin(12, Pin.OUT)
chips = 2 #Two chips cascaded

def dataPulse(times):
	for x in range(times):
		dataPin.value(1)
		dataPin.value(0)
		
def clockPulse(times):
	for x in range(times):
		clockPin.value(1)
		clockPin.value(0)
		
def write(data):
	for x in range(4): #Send 8bit
		clockPin.value(0)
		dataPin.value(data & 0x80) #I'm not sure about that
		clockPin.value(1)
		data = data << 1 #Bitshift Left
		dataPin.value(data & 0x80)
		clockPin.value(0)
		dataPin.value(0)
		data = data << 1
		
		
def my92xxInit():
	clockPulse(32 * chips) # Clear all duty register
	sleep(12) #Stop after 12us
	dataPulse(12) 
	#Send 12 DI pulse, after 6 pulse's falling edge store duty data, and 12
	#pulse's rising edge convert to command mode.
	sleep(12)
	for x in range(chips):
		write(0x18) #ONE_SHOT_DISABLE, REACTION_FAST, BIT_WIDTH_8, FREQUENCY_DIVIDE_1, SCATTER_APDM
	sleep(12)
	dataPulse(16) 
	#Send 16 DI pulse, at 14 pulse's falling edge store CMD data, and
	#at 16 pulse's falling edge convert to duty mode.
	sleep(12)
	
	
def colorDuty(r,g,b,w,c):
	channels = 3 * chips
	duty = [w,c,0,g,r,b] #One channel on the 2nd chip isn't connected
	sleep(12)
	for channel in range(channels):
		write(duty[channel])
	sleep(12)
	dataPulse(8) #Send 8 DI pulse. After 8 pulse falling edge, store old data.
	sleep(12)
	
my92xxInit()
