Minor adjustment Need From Pro

leema · September 17, 2021, 4:59pm

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to arduino and learning stuff from this site,
and after watching some YT videos I made a VU meter and I need a few adjustments to the code
what I need to do is
I can define led number for only one strip, if I used second led strip how do I do that, I mean
First Strip with 40 LED and Second Strip with 20 LED
How Do I use Different numbers of LEDs to the two strips
I have Uploaded the codes and if anyone can do the changes it would be really grateful
I need to run the same effect with different LEDs on two strip

You could make another strip object like

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip1 = Adafruit_NeoPixel( 20, TheOtherPinb, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

lastchancename · September 17, 2021, 5:14pm

When you instantiate the ‘strip’, you can create an array of strips, one with 40 pixels, and a second with 20.

From there on, you simply address the strips individually as needed e.g. strip[0]…and strip[1]…

leema · September 17, 2021, 5:22pm

I'm not a programmer and can you made the changes for me then I will try,
I still learning from scratch

Thanks for the reply

gfvalvo · September 17, 2021, 5:24pm

Why are you using both FastLED and Adafruit_NeoPixel?

leema · September 17, 2021, 5:27pm

This code from Youtube CINE Light i'm not the original owner of this code.
i mailed him and he didn't reply

gfvalvo · September 17, 2021, 5:43pm

I would start by using only one of these Addressable LED libraries. If you go with FastLED, they have a tutorial describing several different ways to support multiple LED strips: https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Multiple-Controller-Examples

lastchancename · September 17, 2021, 7:35pm

Once you choose which library you’re going to use, look at reply #4, and see how you go with a simple test using an array of strips.

Once you understand, you can soon be the ‘author of this code’.

There’s no better time than now to start learning. As you move forward, ask more questions, we’ll be happy to help.
