Hi all, Still very new and learning the language as I go. I am trying to use Arduino to run a few separate functions based on position of a joystick. I have separated each task into a function to help me keep the code clearer (for me).
What I am noticing is the LEDS do not turn off after the joystick position is reset. I have tried FastLED.clear(true); but maybe I have been putting it in the wrong place?
Additionally, once I get that working, it would be good to have an Everything on at once option. I assume I can do this with a separate function, however not sure as it appears I can't separate FastLED.addleds for each function...(
EDIT I have since discovered this is because the NUM_LEDS and DATA_PIN need to be constant. How can I get around this, Ie do a new FastLED instance per target LEDS?
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, Smoke_LED, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS); //2 lEDS
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, Head_LED, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS); // 2 LEDS
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, Jaw_LED, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS); // 3 LEDS
So the current situation is the LEDS all come on and blink at the same time. I need to separate them
Thank you.
