Hey,
I am trying to get a purple background with the "addGlitter" effect working. But i would like batches of 4 leds to randomly fast and not the single led that it currently does.
Does anyone have any advise? Here is my current code:
#include <FastLED.h>
FASTLED_USING_NAMESPACE
#if defined(FASTLED_VERSION) && (FASTLED_VERSION < 3001000)
#warning "Requires FastLED 3.1 or later; check github for latest code."
#endif
#define DATA_PIN 3
//#define CLK_PIN 4
#define LED_TYPE WS2811
#define COLOR_ORDER GRB
#define NUM_LEDS 450
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
#define BRIGHTNESS 96
#define FRAMES_PER_SECOND 120
void setup() {
delay(3000); // 3 second delay for recovery
// tell FastLED about the LED strip configuration
FastLED.addLeds<LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN,COLOR_ORDER>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);
//FastLED.addLeds<LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN,CLK_PIN,COLOR_ORDER>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);
// set master brightness control
FastLED.setBrightness(BRIGHTNESS);
}
// List of patterns to cycle through. Each is defined as a separate function below.
typedef void (*SimplePatternList[])();
SimplePatternList gPatterns = { rainbowWithGlitter, confetti};
uint8_t gCurrentPatternNumber = 0; // Index number of which pattern is current
uint8_t gHue = 0; // rotating "base color" used by many of the patterns
void loop()
{
// Call the current pattern function once, updating the 'leds' array
gPatterns[gCurrentPatternNumber]();
// send the 'leds' array out to the actual LED strip
FastLED.show();
// insert a delay to keep the framerate modest
FastLED.delay(1000/FRAMES_PER_SECOND);
// do some periodic updates
EVERY_N_MILLISECONDS( 20 ) { gHue++; } // slowly cycle the "base color" through the rainbow
EVERY_N_SECONDS( 10 ) { nextPattern(); } // change patterns periodically
}
#define ARRAY_SIZE(A) (sizeof(A) / sizeof((A)[0]))
void nextPattern()
{
// add one to the current pattern number, and wrap around at the end
gCurrentPatternNumber = (gCurrentPatternNumber + 1) % ARRAY_SIZE( gPatterns);
}
void rainbowWithGlitter()
{
// built-in FastLED rainbow, plus some random sparkly glitter
//rainbow();
fill_solid( leds, NUM_LEDS, CRGB::Purple);
addGlitter(80);
}
void addGlitter( fract8 chanceOfGlitter)
{
if( random8() < chanceOfGlitter) {
leds[ random16(NUM_LEDS) ] += CRGB::White;
}
}
void confetti()
{
// random colored speckles that blink in and fade smoothly
fadeToBlackBy( leds, NUM_LEDS, 10);
int pos = random16(NUM_LEDS);
leds[pos] += CHSV( gHue + random8(64), 200, 255);
}
Any help would be much appreciated.
