Hi Everyone, has anybody simulated a moving car effect on their ws2128b led strips?

Hi Everyone, has anybody simulated a moving car effect on their ws2128b led strips? i’m trying to run 8 LED strips of 60 and would love to have all of them move like we’re inside a car/train

Do you have some reference video you can share of the effect you’re looking for?

Do you mean something like this (at 00:34)? https://youtu.be/_sUwaMy8ekI

Here’s a 1D effect that moves along a NOISE plane:

 * A simple 8 bit routine that moves along a NOISE plane.

 * This uses a fixed palette.

It currently uses a ForestColors_p palette, but you can change palettes to suit and you should be able to convert to a 2D pattern.

@Chris_Parton Yes!

@Andrew_Tuline will test this later! Thank you!

@Charles_Aries_Chang @Chris_Parton do you have a code for this type of lighting?

@Charles_Aries_Chang You should be able to get pretty close to that Ford Commercial by creating a non-blended palette of soft white and black using my Noise sketch (above).

I learned a LONG time ago NOT to wait for others to provide me with programs. The trick is to try out the various available sketches online and play around with them and discover on your own.
