Pass a Strip to a function

[Adam_Rich]

Hello, i was working on limiting my code and as I have multiple different NeoPixel objects I want to be able to pass them through the same function and specify what strip gets affected by the function. Is this possible?

Yes it is. You can pass the address of the strip object as a parameter.

ok so i tried that and it will run the first-time but wont loop can you tell what I'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#ifdef __AVR__
  #include <avr/power.h> // Required for 16 MHz Adafruit Trinket
#endif


#define UL_LED_PIN    6
#define UL_LED_COUNT 60

#define FL_LED_PIN    7
#define FL_LED_COUNT 24

//DECLARE RING OBJECT 
 Adafruit_NeoPixel upLight(UL_LED_COUNT, UL_LED_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
 Adafruit_NeoPixel FairyLight(FL_LED_COUNT, FL_LED_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
 


void setup() {

  
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);

 // These lines are specifically to support the Adafruit Trinket 5V 16 MHz.
  // Any other board, you can remove this part (but no harm leaving it):
#if defined(__AVR_ATtiny85__) && (F_CPU == 16000000)
  clock_prescale_set(clock_div_1);
#endif
  // END of Trinket-specific code.
  
  upLight.begin();
  upLight.show();
  upLight.setBrightness(50); // To be moved when DMX Functionality is added 
  
  FairyLight.begin();
  FairyLight.show();
  FairyLight.setBrightness(50); // To be moved when DMX Functionality is added 
  
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Loop Started");
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
theaterChase(upLight, upLight.Color(127,127,127), 5, 50);
  Serial.println("Loop Finished");
}

void theaterChase(Adafruit_NeoPixel light, uint32_t color, int wait, int brightness) {
 light.setBrightness(brightness);
  for(int a=0; a<10; a++) {
     Serial.println("Loop A");
    for(int b=0; b<3; b++) {
      light.clear();
       Serial.println("Loop B");
      for(int c=b; c<light.numPixels(); c += 3) {
         Serial.println("Loop C");
        light.setPixelColor(c, color);
      }
     light.show();
     delay(wait);
    }
  }
}

Looks like you are passing the whole strip instead of just the address as suggested.
