Thanks for the quick reply.
Here's a quick png of my setup in attachment. The code works minus the 30 min timer. When I start the arduino, the LEDs are all off when I push the button, they light up to magenta. I could add another button to another input to start the timer. That would allow me to cycle through different case to have different presets/colors. I used the Adafruit Neopixel library with the buttoncycle exemple. I stripped the code that didn't apply to what I wanted to do.
Here's the code:
// This is a demonstration on how to use an input device to trigger changes on your neo pixels.
// You should wire a momentary push button to connect from ground to a digital IO pin. When you
// press the button it will change to a new pixel animation. Note that you need to press the
// button once to start the first animation!
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define BUTTON_PIN 2 // Digital IO pin connected to the button. This will be
// driven with a pull-up resistor so the switch should
// pull the pin to ground momentarily. On a high -> low
// transition the button press logic will execute.
#define PIXEL_PIN 6 // Digital IO pin connected to the NeoPixels.
#define PIXEL_COUNT 4
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip, neopixel stick has 8
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream, correct for neopixel stick
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz bitstream (e.g. FLORA pixels)
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (e.g. High Density LED strip), correct for neopixel stick
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(PIXEL_COUNT, PIXEL_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
bool oldState = HIGH;
int showType = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);
strip.begin();
strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}
void loop() {
// Get current button state.
bool newState = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN);
// Check if state changed from high to low (button press).
if (newState == LOW && oldState == HIGH) {
// Short delay to debounce button.
delay(20);
// Check if button is still low after debounce.
newState = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN);
if (newState == LOW) {
showType++;
if (showType > 9)
showType=0;
startShow(showType);
}
}
// Set the last button state to the old state.
oldState = newState;
}
void startShow(int i) {
switch(i){
case 0: colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 0, 0), 100); // Black/off
break;
case 1: colorWipe(strip.Color(255, 0, 125), 50); // pink
break;
}
}
// Fill the dots one after the other with a color
void colorWipe(uint32_t c, uint8_t wait) {
for(uint16_t i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, c);
strip.show();
delay(wait);
}
}
void rainbow(uint8_t wait) {
uint16_t i, j;
for(j=0; j<256; j++) {
for(i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, Wheel((i+j) & 255));
}
strip.show();
delay(wait);
}
}
// Input a value 0 to 255 to get a color value.
// The colours are a transition r - g - b - back to r.
uint32_t Wheel(byte WheelPos) {
WheelPos = 255 - WheelPos;
if(WheelPos < 85) {
return strip.Color(255 - WheelPos * 3, 0, WheelPos * 3);
}
if(WheelPos < 170) {
WheelPos -= 85;
return strip.Color(0, WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3);
}
WheelPos -= 170;
return strip.Color(WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3, 0);
}
Thanks guys!
