Hi guys,
I'm struggeling to do the following: I have 6 NeoPixel-Strips (5 of them with 14 LEDs, one of them with 32) connected to 6 PWM-pins of my Arduino micro.
The effect I'm trying to achieve is that I want to have all of the LEDs glow orange (which is no problem at all) but make them randomly fade on and off at different speeds and intensities all along the strip.
I managed to have this effect on 6 normal LEDs whereas I created an array and used a certain LEDfader.h library to make that happen.
Librabry: https://github.com/jgillick/arduino-LEDFader
I'm not sure if there's a possibilty to stuff the LEDs of the strips into arrays and make them use the library I posted above.
That's my first time ever using Adafruit-Strips and RGB-Strips in general so I'm hoping you guys can help me out on that.
I searched in the forums but didn't manage to find an article which comes close to the effect I'm trying to get.
I can post a video of the effect I did with my LEDs if that helps! :)
Cheers and thanks a lot!!!
Mario

Re: Random Fade on NeoPixel-Strip
This guide has a "Fader" class that lets you set up different fades on different strips.

Re: Random Fade on NeoPixel-Strip
Hi Bill,
ah I see, thanks a lot for that!
That brings me a step forward although I don't know how to do create a random fading-effect. But I'm sure I will get to that!
THANKS!

Re: Random Fade on NeoPixel-Strip
Here's another one. It uses a similar technique to create random fades on pairs of pixels: https://learn.adafruit.com/random-spooky-led-eyes

Re: Random Fade on NeoPixel-Strip
Haha thanks a lot Bill, I JUST opened it a minute ago before I saw your response.
Thanks so much, that's practically what I am searching for; just some tweaking left!
THANK YOU!
