How do you change the speed of the ignition animation? about lightsaberos

[Protonerd]

In line 948 of Light.cpp, you see this:
for (uint8_t i=0; i<NUMPIXELS; i++) { // turn on/off one LED at a time

If you want to make the ignition faster, the only way is to switch on/off multiple leds at a time, like this (5 pixels per cycle):
for (uint8_t i=0; i<NUMPIXELS; (i=i+5)) { // turn on/off one LED at a time

I just tried it; it only turned on one LED. I also tried i+2 and it only turned on one.

You can try this code to replace the RampNeoPixel function

void RampNeoPixel(uint16_t RampDuration, bool DirectionUpDown) {
unsigned long ignitionStart = millis();
cRGB value;
#ifdef FIREBLADE
for (unsigned int i=0; i<NUMPIXELS; (i=i+5)) { // turn on/off one LED at a time
FireBlade();
for(unsigned int j=0; j<NUMPIXELS; j++ ) { // fill up string with data
if ((DirectionUpDown and j<=i) or (!DirectionUpDown and j<=NUMPIXELS-1-i)){
}
else if ((DirectionUpDown and j>i) or (!DirectionUpDown and j>NUMPIXELS-1-i)){
value.r=0;
value.g=0;
value.b=0;
//heat[j]=0;
pixels.set_crgb_at(j, value); // Set value at LED found at index j
}
}
pixels.sync(); // Sends the data to the LEDs
}
#else
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < NUMPIXELS; i = NUMPIXELS*(millis()-ignitionStart)/RampDuration) { // turn on/off one LED at a time
for(uint8_t j=0; j<NUMPIXELS; j++ ) { // fill up string with data
if ((DirectionUpDown and j<=i) or (!DirectionUpDown and j<=NUMPIXELS-1-i)){
value.r = MAX_BRIGHTNESS * currentColor.r / rgbFactor;
value.g = MAX_BRIGHTNESS * currentColor.g / rgbFactor;
value.b = MAX_BRIGHTNESS * currentColor.b / rgbFactor;
}
else if ((DirectionUpDown and j>i) or (!DirectionUpDown and j>NUMPIXELS-1-i)){
value.r=0;
value.g=0;
value.b=0;
}
pixels.set_crgb_at(j, value);
}
pixels.sync(); // Sends the data to the LEDs
delay(RampDuration/NUMPIXELS);
}
#endif
}
