Shown below is what I have so far. Currently only concerned about button 1 and I should be able to duplicate things after that. Anyhow, there is a 60 LED neopixel strip connected to pin 6, an LED to pin 24, and buttons with 10k pull up resistors on 25, 27, 29, and 31. The goal is to have the strip play a specific effect after a button is pressed and continue to do so until it is pressed again.
If I call Strobe() after case 2, it only runs the effect once and stops.. though the LED stays on. As shown I tried using a while() loop to run the effect if the case modeB1 is in case 3. However this seems to break the button function. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
