Hello Lefty, thank you for the reply and the information.
firstly to fix the quote
8:00AM = start fading first blue chain of led's in
8.30AM = start fading in second white chain of led's in
8.00PM = start fading second white chain of led's out
8.30PM = start fading first blue chain of leds out.
and regarding the time frame you are correct but i mislead you with my description.
i want the leds to fade in from 0-100% over the space fo say 1Hour
then to fade back, but its essentially the same as what you described.
i kinda came up with a solution this mornig in the shower :-?
i was thinking
if i had some code something along the lines of this i'll jsut do it in speak not code
At 8am set boolean blueOn to true
At 8.30am set boolean whiteOn to true
at midday set boolean blueOn and whiteOn to false
At 8pm set boolean whiteOff to true
At 8.30pm set boolean blueOff to true
At 3.00 Am set boolean whiteOff and BlueOFF to false
then while the arduino is looping call an imade fade object
that has various If statements saying if boolean XYZ is true do this
then the system will jsut fade at its own pace until completed with the parameters being reset at midday and 3am respectively.
What do you guys think? i mean i havent had a chance to play yet but i will do now/within the next hour or so after ive finished tidying up the house >:( :
