High speed 2Mb USB serial port LED strip HyperHDR driver using Esp8266 device.

HyperSerialEsp8266

Exposes USB high speed serial port at 2Mb baud for driving led strip using NeoPixelBus library. It's intended to replace slow Arduino solutions (level shifter 3.3V to 5v may be required). Data integrity check (Fletcher's checksum) included in new 'Awa' protocol for HyperHDR. So no more random flashing caused by serial transmission errors. That option must be checked in HyperHDR to make system works as on the screen below.

Make sure that your serial chip on the ESP8266 can handle 2Mb speed: for example CP2102 can't as its max speed is 1Mb and you can compile a version for that speed but I think that's not the point, cheap CH340G can do it without any problems. CH9102x also should work for you, even at 4Mb speed.

There is also my new fork named HyperSerialWLED available with the support for the AWA serial protocol at @2Mb speed for both ESP8266 and ESP32: https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperSerialWLED Can't guarantee it will work as stable as HyperSerialEsp8266 because WLED has a lot of other things to do in the backgrounds (ex. handling Wifi) and timing control for the serial port could be at danger for larger number of LEDs. But you don't need to abandon all the benefits offered by the WLED which can be a big advantage for some users.

Tested with SK6812 RGBW and cheap 1.75$ noname clone of Wemos ESP8266 d1 mini CH340G. The data output is on the GPIO2 (D4 pin for Wemos mini d1), just like WLED for example. Should work with 3-channel RGB led system like WS8212b also.

RGB to RGBW conversion is calibrated for the neutral white channel BTF SK6812 but it can be easily changed (for cool and warm temperature) in the code. Search for "color calibration". In HyperHDR use "1.5" gamma for red, blue and green for best effect in the "Image Processing" tab.

LED strip / Device	HyperSerialEsp8266
SK6812 cold white	yes
SK6812 neutral white	yes
WS281x	yes
SPI (APA102, SK9812, HD107...)	yes

Example of supported boards

Esp8266 Wemos D1 mini (CH340) and Wemos D1 mini pro (CP2104)

Data integrity check

Why the data integrity check was introduced which causes incompatibility with other software? Because at 2Mb speed many chip-makers allow few percent error in the transmission. And we do not want to have any distracting flashes. Broken frames are abandon without showing them. At 100Hz for 250 leds approximately 1-5% of the frames are broken.

Why not Arduino, Raspberry Pi or WLED

Because Arduino is slow, really slow even at @500000 baud. And no data integrity checking so random flashing may occure... Increasing serial port speed leads to problems with the LED library as most ATMega are at 16MHz only (for comparision Esp8266 is at 80/160MHz). For over 200leds and RGB channel we have merely ~20 frames. For RGBW is even worse. The only advantage of Arduinos is logic at 5V. For Esp8266 level shifter 3.3V to 5V may be required. You can find example of simply and efficient one here: Level shifter for 3.3V logic level

Rpi is very powerful device but for the SK6812 and WS2812b protocol timing of transmission is crucial. It's hard to maintain it in the multitasking environment.

WLED is a brilliant app and it's preffered solution in most cases. But sometimes Wifi is not an option: there is a problem with the signal strenght/stability caused by EM interference or obstacles which results in disturbing effects from the LED strip.You can also try https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperSerialWLED if you don't want to abandon WLED benefits or you are looking for a version for ESP32.

Arduino: 250 RGB leds, 500000 baud, 100 Hz output from HyperHDR, real output for the LED strip is around 20Hz.
With such slow hardware driver you don't even need 30FPS from the grabber really:

With HyperSerialEsp8266 you can have over 100Hz refresh rate for 250 RGB and over 80HZ for 250 RGBW LED strips.
 

Statistics are sent to serial port monitor when there is no data incoming. You can read it with any serial port client. This driver is not hiding any information from you.

Flashing

Recommend to use esphome-flasher

For RGBW LED strip like RGBW SK6812 NEUTRAL white choose: firmware_SK6812_RGBW_NEUTRAL.bin

For RGBW LED strip like RGBW SK6812 COLD white choose: firmware_SK6812_RGBW_COLD.bin

For RGB LED strip like WS8212b or RGB SK6812 variant choose: firmware_WS281x_RGB.bin

For SPI driven RGB LED strip APA102: firmware_SPI_APA102_SK9822_HD107.bin, WS8201: firmware_SPI_WS2801.bin

If you want to disable your first LED because it's used as a sacrificial level shifter, please use HyperHDR v19

For the RGBW firmware the white channel is automatically calculated and R,G,B channels are corrected.

Using esphome-flasher:

Usage in HyperHDR

Set Refresh time to zero, Baudrate to 2000000 and you enabled HyperHDR's AWA protocol.
Enabling White channel calibration is optional, if you want to fine tune the white channel balance of your sk6812 RGBW LED strip.
ESP8266/ESP32 handshake could help you to properly initialize the ESP device and enables statistics available in the logs (you must stop the LED device first to get them).

Benchmarks

Refresh rate depending on requested refresh rate/LED strip length:

RGBW LED strip / Device	WeMos D1 Mini Pro (CP2104) HyperSerialEsp8266 v8
300LEDs Refresh rate/continues output=100Hz	71-75
600LEDs Refresh rate/continues output=60Hz	34-35
900LEDs Refresh rate/continues output=40Hz	23

Compiling

Currently we use PlatformIO to compile the project. Install Visual Studio Code and add PlatformIO plugin. This environment will take care of everything and compile the firmware for you. Low-level LED strip support is provided by the https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus library.

But there is also an alternative and an easier way. Just fork the project and enable its Github Action. Use the online editor to make changes to the platformio.ini file, for example change default pin-outs/speed or enable multi-segments support, and save it. Github Action will compile new firmware automatically in the Artifacts archive. It has never been so easy!

Pinout

ESP8266:
For non-SPI LED strip data pin is GPIO2 (usually D4).
For SPI LED strip is: GPIO13 (MOSI, usually D7) and GPIO14 (SCLK/CLOCK, usually D5).

hyperserialesp8266's Issues

HDR too dark

Hey guys,
i'm using the latest v19 with an Elgato HD60X. Works perfectly with the pre generated LUT.

My only issue is, that HDR content is captured way to dark. When i push the hardware brightness to 170 it's perfect on HDR, but too bright on SDR.

Is there a way too automatically switch that when SDR/HDR changes?

Device disabled, device 'adalight' signals error

Hello

I installed the HyperHDR in my RPi 3 with wemos di mini
Flashed it with HyperSerialEsp8266 with first led disabled, but when I select the 'adalight' as Controller type (as instructed with that baudrate) it gives me error as nothing works
Log shows:
[hyperiond LEDDEVICE] (ERROR) Device disabled, device 'adalight' signals error: 'Timeout writing data to ttyAMA0'

Python sample for woking with hyperserial

could you please provide us a sample base on python platform that can work with your hyperserial? Thank you

My python program can't work with HyperSerialEsp8266

I have written a program in which the packet sent to HyperSerialEsp8266 has the following:

def test_packet(data: np.ndarray, color_order: str):
    pixel_length = len(data)
    packet = bytearray([
        ord('A'), ord('w'), ord('a'),
        (pixel_length >> 8), (pixel_length & 0x00FF)
    ])
    packet.append(packet[3] ^ packet[4] ^ 0x55)  # CRC

    byteData = data.astype(np.dtype('B'))

    # Rearrange colors based on the color_order
    # ... (as before)

    # Add color data to the packet
    for color in byteData:
        packet.append(color[0])  # Red
        packet.append(color[1])  # Green
        packet.append(color[2])  # Blue

    # Fletcher checksum
    fletcher1 = sum(packet[6:]) % 255
    fletcher2 = (sum(packet[6:]) + fletcher1) % 255
    packet.append(fletcher1)
    packet.append(fletcher2)

    return packet

however ws2812b shows nothing after running the . Am I wrong somewhere? can you help me fix it?

Im using python 3.11.4, windows 10, wemos d1 mini pinout D4, Led ws2812b, baud 1000000 and works well with HyperHDR

Troubleshooting

I've got an ESP8266 (NodeMCU v3 CH340 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09F8GCVC8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) with some WS2812B RGBNW and for some reason its just not doing anything. Logs don't say much https://pastebin.com/P0qma9DR. I know the LEDs work (tested them with ESPHome).

I flashed it successfully. I've tried different USBs to connect from the Pi to the NodeMCU and connected them to Gpio 2 (D4). I am at a complete loss. It sees the device but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Suggestions?

No amperage limit function

Can you add amperage limiter to avoid overpowering of the power supply?

Thank you!

Desperate for help - Cannot communicate with LEDs through ESP8266

I'd like to preface that this is most likely not an issue with hyperSerialEsp8266, but I don't know where to turn to at this point.

I've successfully managed to flashed my ESP8266 ESP-12F D1 Mini Module (CH340) (purchased here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09X389JFJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) with firmware_SK6812_RGBW_NEUTRAL.bin

My SK6812 LED strip lights up fine and according to the logs in hyperHDR, it appears it's able to interface with the ESP8266 through adalight COM3. The ESP8266 is connected through USB on the WIN PC running HyperHDR.

However, any attempt to change colors in hyperHDR does absolutely nothing.

Here are my configuration and logs:

Only three LED are showing static color.

The setup worked with WLED, but because of performance issues I want to try serial connection.

I use a ESP8266 Nodemcu V3 developer board. This should have the faster chip necessary for 2Mbps.

Now only the first three leds are glowing static(white and green).

I flashed the latest image 5.0.0.0 and I use HyperHDR 18.0.0.0. The installation is on a Mac.

I simply connected the usb to the Mac, flashed and configured in HyperHDR. I can’t change the leds at all.

LEDs are SK6812 RGBNW.

Status LED on board is not glowing but flash reported success.

SPI PINS

what pins to use for spi?
data pin and clock pin?
in neopixelbus the software spi method is selected, not the hardware method. Why?) D5 and D7 is simple

Relay control

Hey, congrats for the excellent work!
Please, would it possible to use one of the GPIOs to control a 5v relay? Setting it to high only when the serial port is connected or something along those lines?
Thank you.
