I don’t remember where I found this but I like the way it looks. What would be the best way to keep the pattern doing the same thing and remove the delay? Trying to integrate a button to change variables but it won’t work because the delay is messing with the reading of the button. This is just the raw program without any button integration.
#include “FastLED.h”
// How many leds in your strip?
#define NUM_LEDS 120
// For led chips like Neopixels, which have a data line, ground, and power, you just
// need to define DATA_PIN. For led chipsets that are SPI based (four wires - data, clock,
// ground, and power), like the LPD8806, define both DATA_PIN and CLOCK_PIN
#define DATA_PIN 10
#define CLOCK_PIN 13
// Define the array of leds
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
void setup() {
Serial.begin(57600);
Serial.println(“resetting”);
LEDS.addLeds<WS2812B,DATA_PIN,GRB>(leds,NUM_LEDS);
LEDS.setBrightness(255);
}
void loop() {
static uint8_t hue = 0;
// First slide the led in one direction
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) {
// Set the i’th led to red
leds[i] = CHSV((hue++ + 20), 255, 255);
// Show the leds
FastLED.show();
// now that we’ve shown the leds, reset the i’th led to black
// leds[i] = CRGB::Black;
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) { leds[i].nscale8(250); }
// Wait a little bit before we loop around and do it again
delay(15);
}
// Now go in the other direction.
for(int i = (NUM_LEDS); i >= 0; i--) {
// Set the i'th led to red
leds[i] = CHSV((hue++ + 20), 255, 255);
// Show the leds
FastLED.show();
// now that we've shown the leds, reset the i'th led to black
// leds[i] = CRGB::Black;
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) { leds[i].nscale8(250); }
// Wait a little bit before we loop around and do it again
delay(2);
}
