Thank you I will give it a try tonight and let you know how it went.
This works good. Thank you, where in the sketch can I change how many led’s go around together?
@Anx_Xna - I have created a new function that has two dots per segment with four segments as per your request. I have added it to my GitHub Gist at:
FYI, this new function with the two dots per segment with four segments works fine on an Arduino Uno (and probably a Nano) and a Teensy 3.1 but it freezes up on a Wemos D1 Mini Pro. I have yet to figure out why it does this.
Finally, you might want to consider the fact that when you run the one dot per segment with four segments at slightly higher speeds it looks like two dots per segment are moving on the ring and when you run the two dots per segment with four segments at slightly higher speeds it looks like three dots per segment are moving on the ring.
Wow that’s Awesome, thank you so much I’ll try it right now.
Sorry I loaded the wrong FastLED its working now, how do I stop the pause its doing?
I was playing with trying to make the Larson scanner work for another project a Cylon raider ship. I like building space models I also going to build the C57D from Forbidden Planet with white and blue led’s changing from one to the other 1 for flight mode and the other for landing mode.
@Anx_Xna I am not sure what is causing the pausing. Have you tried using line 38 at a slightly faster speed and commenting out line 39?
I have tried playing with the sketch and I still get a Pause, I can change the speed and how many sets of two led’s show up but it still pauses.
Line 39 when commenting out does not work.
I got it to stop pausing but now it will not do any thing but Green, strange?
Green only?

Sketch is working good, only issue is it will not show the color Blue without freezing. also I would now like to add other led’s that do other things like fade in and out slowly for the interior of the ship, on a different strip and Data pin. is this possible?
Also what is the right way to type the color names Blue or blue? DarkBlue or darkblue or Dark Blue in the sketch?
Color can be specified several ways depending on what makes sense to you.
leds[i] = CRGB(255,0,0); //using R,G,B
leds[i] = CHSV(42,255,255); //using H,S,V
leds[i] = 0xE1A024; //using Hex value
leds[i] = CRGB::Purple; //using web color names
Custom names can also to defined to be used later.
CRGB CustomColor(0,128,128);
Then in your code you can do:
leds[i] = CustomColor;
