I'm currently working on a project using a 16x16 NeoPixel LED matrix. It's my first time working with LED Matricies and I'm running into some errors, namely with latency caused by the IR Remote.
I want the code to be able to switch between different modes by pressing buttons on an IR Remote, but I keep running into an error where the IR Receiver receives the first code correctly and triggers the respective mode, but receives all subsequent codes incorrectly. The subsequent codes look like random numbers to me and don't correspond to the button I'm pressing at all.
Additionally, when the function does decide to work, the fade is extremely laggy.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the issues are caused by the loop iterating too fast for the IR remote to process its signal and too slow due to all of the different modes I've added.
I've also considered using an interrupt in my code, but I'm not sure how to implement it using an IR Remote/variable inputs so if anyone has any advice/experience with it that would be extremely helpful.
Anyways, attached below is my code. Let me know if I should be doing anything differently. Thanks for your help!
