[tuto] WS2812 independent patterns on a single strip

Using Arduino LEDs and Multiplexing

  • I'm glad to say it works fine! : multiple simultaneous patterns on my single LED strip!

(just corrected my draft Blink function which didn't blink :smiley: i'll edit the previous post)

void blinkEffect(subStrips &substrip, uint32_t color) {
    for(int i=substrip.startIndex; i<(substrip.startIndex+substrip.nb_LED) ; i++) {
      if (strip.getPixelColor(i) == 0) { strip.setPixelColor(i, color); }
      else { strip.setPixelColor(i, 0); }
    }
    strip.show();
    substrip.lastUpdate = millis(); // time for next change to the display
}
  • Thanks Grumpy_Mike!
    In my grand scheme :-[ it seemed interesting to address orders to sub strip passing pattern as an argument.
    Please advice me another way to follow!
