So,
Decided to try using reef-pi to control my DIY LED's. I've got three channels run by meanwell drivers. I created a PCB that uses GPIO Pins 14, 15 and 22 (All PWM GPIO pins according to raspberry/adafruit) and a Sparkfun Logic Level board to dim the channels. When i'm in the reefpi software when i try to create a jack using any of these pins I get an error saying:
{"error":"Failed to create. Error: invalid pin 14: unknown pwm channel 14"} | HTTP 500
Why is it doing this? How do I tell reefpi that it can in fact use those pins as PWM's as they are GPIO/PWM pins?
I tried using the PCA9856 driver and I COULD add the pins as jacks that way, but when i connected my light to it, it would not control the light. The light came on but would not dim/could not control the light.
I'm a new user to these things, and dont know anything besides what i've learned along this journey of building a WIFI/App controllable LED. A bit frustrated as this is several months in the making with tons of trial and error. Someone please help!
