Powering 3x 5m ws2812b (5V) + controller (7-12V) ?

-

hi everyone,

i'm new forum , arduino projects , have searched answer query.  can please tell me if i'm on right track here...


goal:  connect 3x 5m ws2812b (150 led version) in series = 450 leds = 22.5 amp potential max current

controller:  arduino uno (7-12v input, 5v output)

power supply: 5v dc, 30 amp.


newbie question: should attempt power 5v leds through arduino board (7-12v input, 5v output) or power board separately using low current 9-12v adapter , connect 5v, 30 amp power supply directly 3x ws2812 strips?

my rookie intuition tells me passing high current draw through board power leds not best solution.  secondly, cannot find 7-12v power supply high current (> approx 8 amps), seem indicate it's not idea.


ok found answer bit more searching.  need separate power supply led strips , use resistor + capacitor smooth power supply , reduce noise.

hi new arduino , trying write code of temperature controlled fridge can adjust pot , temp in fridge changes lowest setting -15 , highest setting 30degrees. the temp drops below input pot im trying make compressor turn on , light show compressor on. new @ , im still not quite sure im doing. error below keeps popping , im not quite sure whats wrong code. im hoping on close path how should have done it, how fix error appreciated. arduino: 1.8.4 (windows 10), board: "arduino/genuino uno" c:\users\admin\appdata\local\temp\ccfcxdpc.ltrans0.ltrans.o:(.rodata+0x6): undefined reference `print::write(unsigned char const*, unsigned int)' c:/program files (x86)/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/../lib/gcc/avr/4.9.2/../../../../avr/lib/avr5/crtatmega328p.o:(.init9+0x0): undefined reference `main' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status exit status 1 error compiling board arduino/genuino uno. this report have more information with "show verbose output during comp

esp8266 (nodemcu 0.9) client.write très lent ???

bonjour à tous, j'essaie d'établir une communication entre une carte nodemcu exp8266 et mon pc en wifi via les sockets wifi. cela fonctionne plutôt bien mais le problème vient de la lenteur des instructions liés à l'écriture : par exemple client.write(buf) qui s'exécute en 200ms et est donc bloquante. comment peut on faire pour réduire ce temps d'écriture car c'est vraiment handicapant. merci a+ antoconde vous êtes sous windows? si oui c'est sans doute dû aux delayed acks quote if make network trace network sniffer such microsoft network monitor, tcp server sends tcp ack segment last tcp segment in tcp data stream in delayed acknowledgement timer (also known delayed ack timer). default, windows operating systems, value timer 200 milliseconds (ms). faut éventuellement gérer l'agrégagtion d'ack dans votre code pc en contournant les infos systèmes. ça améliorera un peu les choses - mais le problème est côté pc pas esp (pa
