I am new to Arduino never had one before and have never done coding before so i am hoping someone could help me or point me in the correct direction for what i am making.
basicly me and my wife are making a river type led project and we are having it so the leds are blue none stop and have a lighter blue flickering thought out the set up.
I have searched and looked everywhere for the last few days to figure our how to keep the blue on none stop and have the light blue flicker.
I am wounding if there is any where i can get help with this or someone can point me in the right direction for learning code easy to try to sort it out my self?
As i said i am new to this and have never played with code before so any and all help will be great
What is a "river type led project" and what exact LEDs are you trying to use? Getting LEDs on permanently is easy...switch them on, then just don't switch them off.
Making LEDs flicker is also easy. Have a look at the Blink example in the IDE...if you reduce the delay() value so it blanks faster...that's a flicker.
What we are trying to do is cut a pattern into a coffee table and put leds into it and fill it in with resin and then simulate a river flowing thought the table
How many LEDs are we talking about?
The best soloution for this sort of thing is to use a WS2812 LED addressable strip, but I would avoid setting them in resin as if one breaks all the LEDs after that one stop working, like old Christmas tree lights did.
