adrianotiger / neopixel-effect-generator Goto Github PK

Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible to turn the effects into functions (like voids) and call them whenever I want.
I'm sorry for the question here but I could not do it by myself.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I was wondering if it possible to request some features?

I would love to use some neo pixels in my automotive tail light projects and your animations are great.

Is it possible for the following please:

Allow animations confined to just a "part" of the strip
Asign the arduino analoug inputs to activate certain animations?

Is it also posible for this to work on windows or is it a web interface only?

Thank you for creating and thank you for taking time to read this!

Craig.

thank you for this helpfull tool!

I just found a small issue when creating 2 loops inside a main loop.

loops definition in the generated code are:
struct Loop strip0loop0(3, false, 1);
struct Loop strip0loop00(1, false, 10);
struct Loop strip0loop00(2, false, 10);

I guess it should be like that :
struct Loop strip0loop0(3, false, 1);
struct Loop strip0loop00(1, false, 10);
struct Loop strip0loop01(2, false, 10);

It seems that no matter what settings of "Duration", "Delay" and "Every nth LED" I try, I cannot get the code generated by the web UI perform a fade - it just blinks the end-value for a split second on a loop.

Are there plans to support Neopixel matrices? Or are there tools that already exist?

Code from Fade:

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

class Strip
{
public:
  uint8_t   effect;
  uint8_t   effects;
  uint16_t  effStep;
  unsigned long effStart;
  Adafruit_NeoPixel strip;
  Strip(uint16_t leds, uint8_t pin, uint8_t toteffects) : strip(leds, pin, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800) {
    effect = -1;
    effects = toteffects;
    Reset();
  }
  void Reset(){
    effStep = 0;
    effect = (effect + 1) % effects;
    effStart = millis();
  }
};

struct Loop
{
  uint8_t currentChild;
  uint8_t childs;
  bool timeBased;
  uint16_t cycles;
  uint16_t currentTime;
  Loop(uint8_t totchilds, bool timebased, uint16_t tottime) {currentTime=0;currentChild=0;childs=totchilds;timeBased=timebased;cycles=tottime;}
};

Strip strip_0(60, 8, 60 );
struct Loop strip0loop0(1, false, 1);

//[GLOBAL_VARIABLES]

void setup() {

  //Your setup here:

  strip_0.strip.begin();
}

void loop() {

  //Your code here:

  strips_loop();
}

void strips_loop() {
  if(strip0_loop0() & 0x01)
    strip_0.strip.show();
}

uint8_t strip0_loop0() {
  uint8_t ret = 0x00;
  switch(strip0loop0.currentChild) {
    case 0: 
           ret = strip0_loop0_eff0();break;
  }
  if(ret & 0x02) {
    ret &= 0xfd;
    if(strip0loop0.currentChild + 1 >= strip0loop0.childs) {
      strip0loop0.currentChild = 0;
      if(++strip0loop0.currentTime >= strip0loop0.cycles) {strip0loop0.currentTime = 0; ret |= 0x02;}
    }
    else {
      strip0loop0.currentChild++;
    }
  };
  return ret;
}

uint8_t strip0_loop0_eff0() {
  if(millis() - strip_0.effStart < 11 * (strip_0.effStep)) return 0x00;
  uint8_t e,r,g,b;
    e = (strip_0.effStep * 11) / 840;
    r = 121 * ( e ) + 0 * ( 1.0 - e );
    g = 0 * ( e ) + 0 * ( 1.0 - e );
    b = 140 * ( e ) + 0 * ( 1.0 - e );
    for(uint16_t j=0;j<60;j++) {
      if((j % 1) == 0)
        /*strip_0.strip.setPixelColor(j, r, g, b)*/;
      else
        strip_0.strip.setPixelColor(j, 0, 0, 0);
    }
  }
  if(strip_0.effStep >= 76.36363636363636) {strip_0.Reset(); return 0x03; }
  else strip_0.effStep++;
  return 0x01;
}

Fade shows the start color until the end, then for one step the end color.
in the generated code the line:
e = (strip_0.effStep * 1) / 30000;
have to cast to float
e = (float)(strip_0.effStep * 1) / 30000;
then it works
