play Effects one after the other
ddinternetagentur opened this issue · 4 comments
is it possible to play effects one after the other .. like an animation? would like to build an animation for opening and closing my garage.
To do this, of course, every animation would have to stop at some point ?
All White
Fade Out
Fade in RED
Larsonscanner RED
Fade out
Fade In White
or is it too time-consuming with this library?
The WS2812FX library isn't well suited to your project, since it doesn't provide functions to chain effects. It can be done, as mentioned in issue #127, but it's not pretty. You may have better luck, just using the base Adafruit_Neopixel library and implement the effect and state change code yourself.
Using the button code (I removed the button function, and threw in an automatic TIMER_MS function change), you could use the segmentation code, to not only tell it to do what you want above, but segment out specific parts as you do this...
I kind of see it like a fireworks show coded this way...
I agree I would like to see a simple fade function added to the ws2812library. Fade Color 1 to Color 2 + speed of the fade
(ugly code below, for something similar that worked),
something that could be added to the code below that would make it more friendly, would be a TIMER_MS integer table, or some sort of way you could add different time lengths for each of the specific cases instead of just a static time change variable

anywho you can get the just from the above code.
A static fade would be very usefull in the above coding style. Being able to fade from Color 1 to Color 2 and have it hold static. (with some sort of time fade variable, for a linear fade)
Other types of non linear fades would be neat as well
I have implemented some effect transition code in the latest v1.3.4 release, which allows you to fade from one effect to another. Please see the ws2812fx_transitions example sketch.
