How to enable daylight on a stick

Hi, I want to add a daylight on a stick to my minion running an SKR2 board. It is connected to the second heater output. How do I configure RatOS so I get a switch to turn this on and off?

daylight?

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

24V COB LED in a pragmatic form factor https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Hardware/blob/master/Daylight/README.md I am just not sure where to put the config from the readme in RatOS, and I did not find the right place in the documentation

I would put https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Hardware/blob/master/Daylight/README.md#klipper in the USER OVERRIDES section

the 250mm ones just fit the Z tower of a minion like chefkiss

this is how i configure my leds:

[neopixel led_toolhead]
pin: PA9
chain_count: 3
color_order: GRB
initial_RED: 0.0
initial_GREEN: 0.0
initial_BLUE: 0.0

[gcode_macro LIGHT_ON]
gcode:
  SET_LED LED=led_toolhead RED=1.0 GREEN=1.0 BLUE=1.0

and I guess my pin is PB4 and I don't have to worry about neopixel with this being simple COB LEDs alright, I will check the USER OVERRIDES section. Thanks! (after this current print) @Helge Keck like this then?

[output_pin daylight]
pin: PB4
pwm: True
cycle_time: 0.01

[gcode_macro LIGHT_ON]
gcode:
  SET_PIN PIN=daylight VALUE=1.0

[gcode_macro LIGHT_OFF]
gcode: 
  SET_PIN PIN=daylight VALUE=0.0

[output_pin daylight]
pin: PB4
pwm: True
cycle_time: 0.01

[gcode_macro LIGHT_ON]
gcode:
  SET_PIN PIN=daylight VALUE=1.0

[gcode_macro LIGHT_OFF]
gcode: 
  SET_PIN PIN=daylight VALUE=0.0

looks ok to me but i dont know this kind of LED, not sure if this works

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

the editor shows the whole SET_PIN line red

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

is this expected?

Helge Keck•2y ago

the editor is stupid

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

I think so, I think that is just the (terrible) syntax highlighting

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

then I will wait until this print is done and check if this works any way to get a slider for the value so I can modify the light brightness via UI?

Helge Keck•2y ago

mainsail does this by its own

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

sweet

Helge Keck•2y ago

well, not exaclty

Helge Keck•2y ago

ii got this for RGB lights

Helge Keck•2y ago

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

got a slider which works. Damn these things are bright

If you only want a on/off switch, I use this on printer.cfg: [output_pin WHATEVER] pin: WHATEVER And on moonraker, this: [power LED] type: klipper_device object_name: output_pin NAME_FROM_WHATEVER You will have a toggle button under Miscellanous and the same button on the power button on top.
