Hi! Thanks for the Goggles example library. I'd like to get my goggles to blink, but only use a single colour instead of rainbow/ecto. I'd like it to be gold as well - how do i modify the goggles sketch to display a single colour that blinks but doesn't look around?

Thanks!

Also, how do you change the frequency of the blinks so that it blinks far less often? thanks! =)

There is this Guide that will get you started. Then you read and learn from the example code and try things as you learn.

Thanks Franklin. I managed to figure out the Colourwipe code to work. However, I can't reverse engineer the Goggles code - I would really appreciate your help here. So far I've managed to lock the colour to Green without the swirling effect - is there any way to shift it to yellow?

Here's what I have so far.


#elif EFFECT == ECTO

// A steampunk aesthetic might fare better with this more subdued effect.
// Etherial green glow with just a little animation for visual spice.

a = (hue >> 4) & 15;
c = hue & 15;
for(i=0; i<16; i++) {
b = (a + 1) & 15;
iColor[i][1] = 230; // Predominantly green

a = b;
}
hue -= 1;

#endif

Also, I've read the guide about four times - the learning curve is very steep however.

Try looking at strandtest example for setPixelColor as used in colorWipe. Could you show how you have things connected and how many pixels you are controlling.?

[woinkeyman]

Yup I'm basically trying to splice bits of both the strandtest and goggles examples together. Main problem is that strandtest declares a strip, while goggles uses pixels?

Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(32, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);


Anyway I'm creating a mask for a school convocation ceremony, so I'm using two 16-led neopixel rings

And here's a picture of what I have so far - I'm basically trying to make him blink :)

That is just a name. It doesn't matter which one you use - as long as you are consistent.

If you want to 'borrow' some strandtest code for your goggles, just change "strand" to "pixels" in the code.

Ah I see! Thanks!
