Hey, im using a Arduino D1 Wemos atm. This is my first Code i made mostly by myself.
I want a rainbow effect after the IRSensors are changing low and high all the time BUT ONCE. After that it should stay with the order i have written in the code. Do you guys have any idea?
Even more...is there a more simple way to write my code?

Look up state machines as this will be a common problem if you don’t understand them. Be aware of where you put the Boolean above as you could set it to true every time through loop.
**boolean Pride2015 = true;**
void loop() {
Sensor_State2 = digitalRead(D12);
Sensor_State1 = digitalRead(D11); //Read out IRSensor HIGH or LOW
if (Sensor_State1 == 1) //if IRSensor is HIGH
{
if (Pride2015){
Pride2015 = false;}
for (int i=0; i<=NUM_LEDS; i++) { //LED setup
ledsCup1[i] =CRGB::Blue; //LED Index
FastLED.show();} //Show
}
else //if IRSensor is NOT HIGH
{
for (int i=0; i<=NUM_LEDS; i++) { //LED setup
ledsCup1[i] =CRGB::Red; //LED Index
FastLED.show();} //Show
}
Well... I have no clue what you all talking
As i said thats my first code.
I get the if Statement and how include commands in it. But if you are all telling me to put another if statement, i dont know wher to put it...
In that case how are you going to write your sketches?
If you defined the function pride() - is assumed that you are going to call it in your code, otherwise why you defined it? But in you code no that call, so the function is completely useless.
Do yo understand the difference between "function definition" and "call the function" ?
if simplified, the first is creation the function and the second - using it.
What are you show above is definition. Where are you call this function?
Why do you create the function, if you don't use it?
if (Pride2015) {
pride(); // call the pride function
Pride2015 = false; // but only once, never again.
}
If Pride2915 is a boolean variable that is initialised as true, this will do the trick.
Place thy code where you want the price() thing to happen once, but only once, as program flow passes
through.
Presumably at some point for some reason you'll want to set Pride2015 true again, or quite literally you will never see the pride() function do its thing again.
Unless you restart the program or power cycle it.
What conditions shoukd obtain for you to reset that variable? Like ten minutes without motion, or temperature above 37 degrees C?
It's just what @UKHeliBob propose straightaway, and is a correction and addition to your idea of it.
Does that make sense now, and do you get why you would need to have some reset of the mechanism employed?
