hi Mat13.. something wrong with your code here.. can you fix it?
thanks
Mat13:
I did that (but I didn't find it simplier :
... I had to pass sub strips instead of patterns to the functions.
I created a structure to store informations on the sub strips and its associated pattern.
This draft is compiling OK (but untested yet, my hardware is at home)
// StrandTest from AdaFruit implemented as a state machine

i'll edit the previous post)
