What started out as an just excuse to tinker with the ESP32 turned into a more extensive project. Since the ESP32 support wasn’t great before I had been using custom code on the RMT channel to drive the LEDs, but now have moved back to FastLED which makes my life a lot simpler! This video was made before the port to FastLED, so it lacks fades and a few effects I’ve added since. Most of these came from Tweaking4All, some are original.
Thanks! Since going back to FastLED I’ve added palette based effects like puffy clouds, rainbow stripe animations, and so on. The fire is still my favorite. Wish I knew who wrote the original, it’s clever.
any chance you want to share your code? those are some awesome effects! I am finishing up a holiday light show I put on the outside of my house, and I would love to add some of your effects to it.
The bouncing balls are pretty self contained, so here’s an example. It relies on a base class you won’t have to set pixels and so on but it should be easy to reuse.
@Dave_Plummer Please post code to http://gist.github.com and share a link to it here so G+ doesn’t accidently mangle it, it can be viewed correctly on all devices, and line numbers can be referenced for discussion. http://gist.github.com
