Do we have a list of available functions inside of the fast led library?
I’ve done some searching but I’m not able to find really anything beyond the wiki.
I’m about to have a free weekend (I think) and I would love to do some building and coding.
I don’t think there is an official ‘list’. You gotta do some research throughout the code, and also check out the libation.h file, the guys did a pretty good job at commenting out specific code sections
I’ve never explored the .h files incuded in the library. I will definitely do that when I get home. Maybe it will explain some the missing links I just can’t make sense of.
I found this helpful for looking for specific things
https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/FastLED2.1/keywords.txt
I recommend the .h files.
To expand on that, the code (.h especially) is always The Truth. The examples are one level removed from that, and the wiki docs are often the most abstracted.
We try to keep the wiki and docs in sync and helpful especially for new users. But for intermediate and advancing users, Dan and I do sort of expect that those users will be able to do some digging around.
By the way @Larry1 , when I use AS6 with VM, as soon as I type FastLED. (with the trailing period) and pause, it will pop up a list of available functions. Like so: http://www.ka4designs.com/AS.png
What it doesn’t do are those functions that don’t require the FastLED. prefix, like fill_solid, or fill_rainbow … Interestingly enough, fillnoise8() does come up … Hey @Mark_Kriegsman or @Daniel_Garcia , why’s that? Why some but not others?
Ok I got AS6, what’s VM? All I keep thinking is Virtual Machine lol
Visual Micro for Arduino. It installs and runs inside of AS6 so you can write code for Arduino (and clones) inside of AS6 instead of using the Arduino IDE.
Looks like I’m going tocheck that out tonight @Ashley_M_Kirchner_No
Thanks a million for the suggestion!
That image I linked above is what it looks like in AS6.
Looks cool. Makes me wonder why they haven’t stepped up the IDE on arduino. That one feature alone would help so many new coders.
It seems that, to the Arduino team, hardware is more important than software, at least based on the recent releases.
Ah, I knew that
