hi,
i have a simple idea that is working, and i want it to work better!
trigger switch at the bottom of the stairs, and another at the top.
2 lights in the ceiling, 14 lights up the stairs and then 3 lights at the landing.
the premise is easy, trip the bottom switch and the ceiling lights turn on, then the steps in order going up, and then the landing lights go on, they stay on for 25 seconds and then fade out in order.
i have a dial at the bottom of the stairs, with 10 presets for colours
now my issue, is that when i have started the process, it goes through the process fine, but there is no possibility for interaction until the system has completed.
if i change the colour whilst the lights are on, it will be ignored until it has all faded out and waiting to restart.
i know that its getting stuck in the for loops for the fade ins and fade outs, but how to reorganise the code so if i change the dial mid step, the colours change.
thanks!
