Hello!
I am still very new to this but I am trying to get a specific animation. I could be approaching this incorrectly, so please correct me or point me in the right direction if i am wrong.
i am still new to coding but i am trying to get a snowsparkle and ColorWipe (or Chase animation) combined. that is i want the snowsparkle active wile the color wipe/chase is running.
I have the code in one sketch but i they only act in sequences one after the other. is there a way to combine and have them both act at the same time?
this is the code i have now. should i look into a different type of code?
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 6
#define NUM_LEDS 4
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUM_LEDS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
strip.begin();
strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}

SnowSparkle(0xff, 0x8a, 0x05, 20, random(100,1000));
// colorWipe(0,0,0, 50);
