A turing mashine emulater using a pi to be programmd and an led rgb-strip as a work belt
  • 1 × ws281 strip Switches and Relays / Electromechanical Relays
  • 1 × pwersupply
  • 1 × Arduino compatible device with USB (or usb/tty)
  • 1 × cables, solder, switches ...
  • 1 × 1 k resistor (optional)

  • So, that did not work

    So that does not work any more (i assume the Linux kernel was changed in some respect). That's why i chose the boring way of using an arduino, which has the advantage, that it now can be run from any Linux computer, although the raspberry pi can still be used in longterm installations.

  • installing the pi

    #install the pi, then install the necessary software

    git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x.git

    cd rpi_ws281x/

    vi main.c

    # //modify to sute your setup (size)

    scons

    sudo scons

    sudo ./test

    python3 setup.py build

    Step 1

    #install the pi, then install the necessary software

    git clone https://gitlab.com/franzt1/jrgbtmp.git

    cd jrgbtmp/

    sudo apt-get install arduino openjdk-8-jre

    Step 2

    connect the Arduino. install the sketch from the Git repository onto the arduino. connect the rgb band to pin 7 and the powersupply. You are now connected. Try the console manager in arduino, set the speed to 4900 baud and send the string "rgbx". It should now have a red, a green and a blue glowing led. everything is set up

    Step 3

    cd src

    run the software. Although there might be a compiled version included recompile it with javac -sourcedirectory ../../....... ///

    and execute with java com.asdf....Main > /dev/ttyUsb

    Now the gui can be used to create turingmashines and run them.

it appers to not work annymore with new cernels, i might look into it

  Are you sure? yes | no

well that's somewhat true

however the raspberry pi can do pwm, due to hardware features, and i found a softwoare (no linked in), that uses direct memory aces (dma) to magically toggle the pin without the ALU (the part of the CPU, that does most of the calculation and program execution work) involved.

I can't understand how it works (it writes directly to memory and has to run as root as a consequence), but it works well. what more could I wish for.

I am creating some circuit information coming up.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi, 

I thought that ws2812 strips couldn't be controlled by Pis as they can't supply a 400khz clock signal to keep them in sync? I thought they were only control able by non-os machines.

  Are you sure? yes | no
