Hi Paul,
Thanks for your responses.
What is the voltage on the relay? How are you getting it to a range that the Arduino can handle? In other words, where is your schematic?
I am dropping the voltage from the relay to 3.3v, so when the flasher is activated it should fluctuate between 3.3v and 0v. But maybe my understating is not correct?
I would not expect the relay state to be low to indicate blinking.
From my understanding of the code, strip_left.show(); turns OFF the leds which is why i thought that command may work.
If the state id HIGH, set the colors and show those colors. If the pin is LOW, show the same colors. No wonder it's not blinking.
I explained this above...
Use Tools + Auto Format before you post any more ugly code.
OK.
