SL-90

[iNablax]

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your efforts. I bought a SL-90 light and tried to use your code to control it but the only thing i can control (with the GUI) is the turn on/off function. All the rest doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Ok I've read about the SL-90 here, interestingly i have "NW-20240073" in my case which is also a SL-90 Pro. I changed it now and it works! the only problem is, the first time it scans and finds the lamp, it says there was an error connecting.. i have to click on "connect" to force it, then it says "hardware found.." and i can control everything.

Interesting - not really sure why it's not connecting the first time... A lot of the issues with lights not being controllable just has to do with which subset of settings NeewerLite-Python uses for that particular light, and a lot of newer Neewer lights aren't configured (yet) - as in the example above, yours is 20240073 and mine was 20200037, so a different revision. I'm glad you were able to get it working though! So, according to what you said, the SL-90 you have is an Infinity protocol light, not CCT-only (so it can do HSI as well), and the range of color temperatures in CCT mode is from 2500-10000K - or at least that's what I have the SL-90 and SL-90 pros configured to.

Yes exactly! I have the SL-90 Pro and it has Infinity support and it has all the modes of your GUI. The temperature is also also 2500-10000k. I'm considering buying the RGB660 PRO (II according to Neewer Website) as they are here listed as fully compatible and I am afraid of having flickering issues. I have a question about your code though. I want to use the light as a part of an automated system. Do I get a feedback after sending any particular setting or value to the lamp?
The idea is to send a particular setting to the light, wait for a confirmation and then trigger the camera to take a picture..

NeewerLite-Python isn't really configured to send a report after setting a value, but it can be changed to - that would definitely be worth looking into!
