Thanks for taking the time to look...
First let me describe my setup. I am running a Trinket Pro 5V, connected to a BlueFruit LE module and a DotStar strip (144 density, but only using 45 pixels). This is presently powered by a 5V 2A wall adapter, but will ultimately be a portable project. Everything is wired up and has been tested. I was able to modify the sketch from the Bluetooth Controlled Goggles project (https://learn.adafruit.com/bluetooth-ne ... s/overview) to work with the DotStar strip, and have no difficulties with the hardware.
Here's where I need help. I'm new to all of this, and here's what I'm hoping to do. I would like to be able to have multiple programs which I can switch through using the BlueFruit LE app on my phone. As it stands, the sketch I have uses the DotStar library and has two preset programs (pinwheel and sparkle), which are mapped to buttons 1 and 2 in the Bluefruit LE app. I would like to be able to add multiple programs (Rainbow and Ripple from the BellyDance Fans tutorial, a Cylon or Larsen mode, a Fire mode http://www.walltech.cc/neopixel-fire-effect/ , a color fade mode, and the sparkle and pinwheel modes already existing in this sketch), and have them be cycled up through by pressing Button 1 on the phone app, cycled down by pressing Button 2 on the phone app. I would also like Button 4 to go through 5 levels of Brightness (51, 102, 153, 204, 255).
My problem is that the code for these various projects (several of which I have run successfully, depend on different libraries (FastLED and DotStar). I do not have the expertise to figure out which bits of code I need from each working module to incorporate with the Bluetooth code I have. Is there anyone who can help?
I appreciate your time and assistance.

Hi,
I wish I could tell you I have an answer to your issue...
However, I am running an identical setup to you (I'm using an UART Bluefruit, not sure if you are) and I would love to see how you modified the Goggles sketch for your needs. I'm scratching my head here trying to figure out.

Phil - Did you ever get this working? I am looking at a similar setup now and want the same types of effects.
