Using multiple pins on the arduino

Projects Programming

Hi, I'm trying to turn on 10 different light strips from my Arduino Uno. I got my code working to turn on one light strip through one pin but when I changed the code to account for the 10 pins I ran into problems. Here are my error messages:

Turn_on_entire_strip:19: error: redefinition of 'uint32_t white'

Turn_on_entire_strip.ino: In function 'void loop()':

If anyone can let me know what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it!

  strip.show();

You don't have an instance named strip.

Don't I need to define the color for each light strip? I thought that was what I was doing.

White is white, regardless of which strip it is to be displayed on, isn't it?

I really don't understand why the Color() method is not static in that class. The color value that it returns is not specific to an instance of the class.
