Ahhhh. 
That is much better. Thank you, Nick. The one thing I understood how to do with the old cumbersome code that I do not with your new, nice and clean code is that once it reaches it's fastest spinning speed (which I would like to be a delay of 10 between lights) I'd like it to spin around at that speed ten times and then begin the pulsing.
My LEDs are very, very bright and I've been getting a bit of a headache working on this. It's too hard for me to not stare at the pretty, blinky LEDs. If I wanted to set them all at a lower brightness, would I just change digitalWrite(pin, HIGH) into digitalWrite(pin, 100) or something like this? Thanks so much.
