You might run into trouble trying to ++ an enum though, I believe you can do showType = showType + 1; or if that's a bit messy, you can write an operator overload for the ++;
const char* showNames[] = { "ALL_OFF", "HIGHLIGHT", "PATRIOTIC", "BREATH", "HOMERUN"};
enum Shows {
ALL_OFF = 0,
HIGHLIGHT,
PATRIOTIC,
BREATH,
HOMERUN,
NUM_SHOWS
};
Shows showType = ALL_OFF; // Or whatever you want it to be.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
for (; showType < NUM_SHOWS; showType = showType+1)
Serial.println(showNames[showType]);
}
void loop() {}
This is tested now.
