automatic translation of CHSV to CRGB not working for some reason

Projects Programming
1

In the function sinFunc there are 2 lines that follow the pixel reference examples but yield no results.
I want to understand the syntax error that I've made here.
The serial print show that the color[] CHSV array is correct but the outcome is 0 to all elements of led[] - the CRGB array.

Thank you for your help

I've not checked in details but doing this

byte hue;
byte sat;
byte val;
CHSV ledHSV[STRIP] = CHSV(hue, sat, val);

only when you declare the variables won't help maintain this "association" at run time and it's somewhat weird to want to allocate 1 value to an array of 60 elements.

you need to call the function for each led, in the core of the program when you want to get the HSV value
