Tried to bridge the issue between Neopixels and Servos with https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixels-and-servos/the-ticoservo-library
Attempted code, but nothing......
- Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adafruit_TiCoServo example for ATmega-based boards such as the Arduino
Uno, Leonardo, Mega, Duemilanove and compatible boards such as the
Adafruit Pro Trinket, Flora or PJRC Teensy 2.0 (not Trinket or Gemma,
see other example for that).
THE GOOD NEWS:
- NeoPixels and servos in the same sketch!
THE BAD NEWS:
- Limited to 2 servos on the most popular boards (4-12 on others).
- Servos must be on specific pins. This is explained later in the code.
- Supports the most common AVR-based boards, but not everything.
- Uses up Timer/Counter 1, a popular choice of other time-critical
libraries such as WaveHC. Can only do so much in one sketch.
Some boards (Leonardo, Mega) have additional 16-bit timers available.
Example reads a potentiometer on pin A0, moves a servo (pin 9) and
fills a portion of a NeoPixel strip (pin 6) to match.
