First off this LED library is amazing. Thank you so much to Mark for making it. I was trying to figure out how to do two things and I figured you guys would have a way.

  1. I wanted to have a button press or serial input trigger an led action (to turn it on) and was curious how best to do that- would i declare other loops and call them in the main void loop?

For example

void fire1()
{
fire code here
}

and in the main loop just have
if (button1 == HIGH)
{do (fire1)}
Or something similar

  1. Fire 2012 is amazing. I wanted to know how I could “light it off” so to speak. Starting from LED 0 and working up in some fire-like capacity. I wasn’t sure if you have done this yet.

Thanks!
Josh
