Need help with KeyboardVisualizer

Hello!

I assembled the backlight of the PC case on six Arduino NANO controllers using WS2812B tapes. In order for the case backlight to be synchronized with the Razer and Logitech peripherals, I used the KeyboardVisualizer program and firmware for WS2812B_LEDStrip_Arduino.ino controllers

Everything works perfectly. But when i`m turn on the computer, until Windows and KeyboardVisualizer program starts up, the backlight does not light up. The controllers do not turn on the diodes until they receive a signal on the COM port.

Please help me add a code so that when power is applied to the controllers, they power on diodes with a smooth cyclic color change when there is no signal at the COM port.

Thank You!

Welcome to the forums! What have you tried to solve this problem? These forums are to help people who try things and get stuck. If you want to have someone write code for you, hire a programmer over in the Gigs & Collaborations forum and bring some $$$.
