Help with LEDs on model railway project

Using Arduino Project Guidance
#41 
{
    int brightness = map(modelClock.hours, 2, 10, 0, 15);
    int brightness2 = map(modelClock.hours, 14, 20, 15, 0);


  if (modelClock.hours==00)
{
  analogWrite(LED1, 0);
}
if (modelClock.hours >=2)    
    {
      analogWrite(LED1, brightness);
    }
    if (modelClock.hours >= 14);
    {
      analogWrite(LED1, brightness2);
    }
  }```

No joy..
#42

Lose the semicolon:

    if (modelClock.hours >= 14);
#43

didn't do it either..

#44 
if (modelClock.hours == 00)
{
  analogWrite(LED1, 0);
}
if (modelClock.hours >= 02 || < = 9 )    
    {
      analogWrite(LED1, brightness);
    }
    if (modelClock.hours == 10)
    {
      analogWrite(LED1, 15);
    }
if (modelClock.hours >=14 || < = 20)
{
  analogWrite(LED1, brightness2);
}
  
  }

Do the hours to trigger need to be in a range like this? This won't let me up load as there is a problem with it, but for demo purposes

#45

Oops

#46

This:

if (modelClock.hours >= 02 || < = 9 )

Should probably be:

if (modelClock.hours >= 2 && modelClock.hours<= 9 )

Same pattern for the other one too.

#47

This seems to have done the trick! Thank you!

#48

So guess who is isolating with covid and has some spare time for arduino learning! :joy:

I installed some rgb led strips as was suggested above and am trying to figure out the best way to get them into my code to do sunrise and sunset.

I have been having fun with fastled.h so I have them wired correctly... Not as simple as mapping the other leds was it seems though...

#49

I did find this example, but can't figure out how to adjust the colours as they're a bit extreme. The palettes I could do with help with. How to do the opposite of this ie sunset Then how to trigger it all from my modelclock

#50

I use Fastled to get the .show() function but I put the values in the led array for red, green, blue and adjust them by value. One of the fastled source files has a big table of color names and values if you want names.
