Disco Strobe With Palette (w/ Halloween colors)
I had a request for a version of my (VERY BLINKY!) Disco Strobe animation that used custom colors, instead of the HSV rainbow color wheel. Here’s the updated version that supports custom color palettes:

DiscoStrobeWithPalette.ino

#include "FastLED.h"

// DiscoStrobeWithPalette
// *Flashing* rainbow lights that zoom back and forth to a beat.
// See your doctor before using this code if you have certain neurological conditions.
//
// Same as "DiscoStrobe" (July 2015), except updated to use a
// color palette of your choice instead of the HSV color wheel.
// Default color palette is a section of Purple, Green, Orange, 
// and White for Halloween decor.

The code is essentially identical to the July 2015 “Disco Strobe” posted here (with video) https://plus.google.com/u/0/112916219338292742137/posts/8GjYbFGyBGM but with two changes: first, instead of getting each color from the HSV rainbow, it gets each color from a user-defined color palette. And second, I put together a simple color palette of Purple, Orange, and Green for Halloween – and this is the default here, but you can change it to any pre-defined or custom color palette you wish.

There are also a bunch of numeric constants in the (fairly-well-commented) code, and you can tinker around with them to see what effects you like.

We should have a Halloween show-and-tell! I’m sure folks are working on some fun projects…

cool!!! thanks a lot Mark Kriegsman

edit: I actually changed the white color to an incandescent color ( 0xE1A024 ). It Looks great!
