Hi, all.
I'm trying to make a single RGB LED fade between a particular set of colors over time. I need to assign specific colors to specific times of the day (Ex: 8am-blue, 9am - green, 10am-yellow) with a smooth transition between those colors as time passes.
I've been digging around the Forum for help and I've found a lot of great posts but I'm still struggling with this.
Any thoughts on what would be the best approach, where to look for some guidance, or code examples? Thanks so much!
Break your project into more manageable parts:
Get the LEDs to fade. Then, get the time of day to print. Then start combining the code. If you want people to help with specifics in the code, you'll need to post what code you have so far and describe the specific problem you're having.
Ex: 8am-blue, 9am - green
Exactly what do you want to see happen, when?
There are 255 steps from blue off to blue on. There are 255 steps from green off to green on. How long between steps do you want to wait? Should the blue fade off completely before the green fades on?
"Fade smoothly from one color to another between time n and time m" is NOT an implementable requirement.
