Here is the new version of PatternPaint, that should save to BlinkyTile- let me know how it works: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/releases/tag/2.0.2

Thanks for getting a BlinkyTile kit! It does refer to PatternPaint, and we're just now getting support for them working. Do you use OS X or Windows? I'll put out a build this afternoon that has upload support.
-
Do you have plans to offer a single 8 pack of the hexatiles? That would be a great companion to the original kits. I'd be happy to sell single panels of Hexatile (note that they're white colored)! The main reason we aren't offering them like that…
-
Yaay! Hoping to get this version 2.0 out in the next couple of days (blinkytape support seems fine, but blinkytile and the blinkypendant drivers need a little more work), and then get some documentation in. If you have any suggestions or run into an…

To get rid of the laser cat pattern (and other samples), click on their thumbnail photo on the left hand side of the screen, then select file->close to close them. You can also press 'cancel' on the welcome screen to skip loading them. Does the t…

Can you try the latest preview release? Apologies that it stopped working for you. I've made some fairly significant updates to the firmware and to PatternPaint since 1.8.0, if it was getting stuck on something in the firmware, the new version mi…
-
Hmm, very interesting... what version of PatternPaint are you using?
-
Hi Terry- did you click the 'save to blinky' button before closing PatternPaint? Did the upload process report any errors? If so, you might also need to unplug the tape and plug it back in- some earlier versions of PatternPaint don't tell the tap…

Not sure why the line returns worked for a moment, I don't think I had changed anything before then ;-). So far I have upgraded to a new Ubuntu version, updated Vanilla to 2.2, and set Markdown as the default editor for desktop and mobile. 'Markdown…
-
Ah, glad to hear you got it working! Sounds like a cool project
-
At least the emoji work now I'm not giving up on getting this enabled, yet.
-
* Hmm, markdown doesn't seem to be working! * Bother...
-
Ok, I've updated to Vanilla 2.2 and enabled the new Advanced Editor. Now trying to get markdown support to work
-
Interesting. The button on the blinkytape is active low, which means it is normally HIGH when the button isn't being pressed, and LOW when the button is pressed. The design looks good, it looks like you might be missing a check to skip the whole cou…
-
Great idea! By the way, the latest preview version of pattern paint: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/releases/tag/2.0.1 Should support the new blinkypendant firmware.
-
Hi Travis, apologies for the wait, and thanks for sticking with us. PM me and we'll send you a second one as an apology. We're putting the wraps on a new version of PatternPaint that will support loading multiple images to the pendant. There's a pr…
-
This sounds awesome! The FakeTV product is hilarious. Apologies that your pattern attachment isn't showing up- I think there's an issue with the server. Looking into that now...
-
That's quite an interesting issue. Is there any chance you have Arduino installed? My next suggestion would be to try programming it with something besides Pattern Paint, in case something stopped working with the PatternPaint uploader. Which OS are…
-
Hmm- do you know the capacity of the battery? Flickering like that could possibly mean the BlinkyTape is drawing too much current, and causing the battery pack to go into current protection mode and shut off. Has it worked with the battery before? D…

@bigtrav261 - apologies there, I'll get a Windows version of the above out to you tomorrow. The PatternPaint release has been a little slow since we are adding a new mode to support matrix screens, however I'll try to get a beta version out in the n…
-
Aha- try running it with root permission: sudo make install You could also make a rule for it in udev to give userspace permission for it (and filter on the above VID/PID pairs).
-
Hmm, firing up the linux box now to try and repeat this. Will fix that case issue too, OS X handles those things poorly.
-
Great!
-
Ok, here's an updated version: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Arduino/releases/tag/2.0.0 I've updated the class definition for Animation, to remove references to PROGMEM. This was a bug that got exposed by the new version of FastLED. Let…
-
Glad it was that simple! Bummer about the short cables, though.
-
Hi Nick!!! Yikes, that does look pretty worn out! First thought- have you tried other USB cables with it? Sometimes the connector on the cable itself wears out, so swapping in a different one would be my first suggestion. Next, you can try re-sold…
-
Oh! I just deleted my preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/com.blinkinlabs.PatternPaint.plist), and am seeing a similar crash. It looks like one of the preferences isn't being set correctly by default. I haven't done a test on a clean system rece…
-
Ah, now I see. FastLED 3.1 redefined PROGMEM to be: #define PROGMEM __attribute__((section(".progmem.data"))) which breaks the function definitions in animation.h. Looking at it now... A workaround for the moment would be to use FastLED 3.0. Apolo…
-
Hi Ursonate, Sorry to hear that the controller is giving you trouble. Can you share what kind of LEDs you've hooked up to it (and ideally a picture of the connections)? Second, which operating system and version are you using (Windows/Mac/Linux)? …

Excellent!
