Thanks for writing and sharing this code, but where do you get the defines for the EVERY_N_MILLISECONDS( 20 ) and EVERY_N_SECONDS( 10 ) macros/functions? I'm playing around using the library on an AdaFruit Gemma so for me, size is key.

Thanks,
John

Hi and sorry for the delay in responding! Those capabilities are part of the FastLED 3.1 branch, on GitHub. They don't particularly take up much more room that the equivalent hand-written code.

Hi, I read your code nicely written. But I am new to Arduino platform but I had a programming experience when I deployed you code its give me an error message for library FastLED.h. Can you please also include what libraries do I had to installed before the coding.

thanks

AA

You have any code to do this on a Particle Photon?

hi i am using esp8266 NODE MCU, for some reason FAST LED lib does not work only the first two led light up apart from that nothing happens, all other libs like adifruit and 8266fx work fine

Can you guide me as to the reason for the same

Hello friend, sorry for the inconvenience, I found your code browsing the internet, but I did not find your schematic, could you share the schematic with me? thank you.

when i try ws2801 and choose the clk pin it give me so many errors for Arduino uno

For some reason when I add a new animation pattern to the list and define it at the end of the code is says my it was not declared in the scope?

Just so folks know, you can get help with FastLED questions, code, and projects over at http://www.reddit.com/r/FastLED

See you there!
