There’s also all sorts of code in there I’d never write today, like “floating point division inside a loop.” (shudder)
“Fire” the best! But other “Five Elements” are balance “Fire”. I’m going to include all basic elements in my lamp for balance environment. And I’m going to attach sound for all effects in the future. BTW how can I’m increase brightness of my strip? Can i connect 2 or 3 same ws2811/2812 strips in parallel to one data pin? I no need matrix on this step, i’m only need mirrored strip.
Mark! Still hope that you find and share other “5 elements” code. Please)
Sure- one easy way is to completely skip the “sparking new heat” step if your “fire switch” is off.
A variation of this would be to have the sparking level controlled by an external potentiometer (for example), which would let you ‘fan the flame’ higher, or cut the sparking all together to let the fire die out.
Great! Congratulations and good luck! When you get it all out together, share a video if you can!
I’m brand new. Working on my 2015 Burning Man sculpture. I’ve got Fire2012 working (thank you very much!) and want to modify it. I’ve got a rudimentary knowledge of arduino coding and I’m looking for a listing of all the fastled functions with the arguments defined. Is there a manual somewhere? I can’t find it. Lots of code examples but I’d like it all in one place. Where can I find that?
The definitive resource right now is the .h files-- lots of documentation in there. You can browse it on your own hard drive or browse and search it here. https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/FastLED3.1?files=1
We’re also slowly migrating it to doxygen, but the wiki is also not a bad resource. https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Overview
Mark, did you ever release the ‘Air’ sketch from the 5 elements. Been trying to find it but to no avail.
Best Regards
Nothing too fancy but I’ve added a rotary encoder with push button to provide a brightness/ sparking/ cooling/ reset/ on/ off menu plus storing its settings in EEPROM for bundling everything in an consumer-friendly IKEA-lamp based move-in present.
Would love to add the other 4 elements…
Andreas, where can I find that code? do you have a video of your project?
Toby, code is here: https://github.com/andig/Fire2016 and video is here: https://youtu.be/0pErX6w_pwM I also have a couple of fotos from the installation that I could upload if you want. Would appreciate the other four elements 
Thank you! Would love to see some photos
Updated github with a wiki and some photos
