@Jason_Coon hi I would be interested for my autistic son he loves his flashing lights and patterns will let you know how my attempt goes using a nano when I get my order of more in thanks for sharing this great project

22

@Jason_Coon ​ I’m also interested. Small question have you thought to sell pcb or kit on “http://Tindie.com” ?

23

I have. :slight_smile: https://www.tindie.com/stores/jasoncoon/

24

How sorry I am see later thanks

25

@Jason_Coon ​ I don’t see this pcb kit. You have published this pcb kit ?

26

@Michael_Aramini_Mick not this PCB yet. I just placed the order, should have them in next week. Will test then get them published. Sorry for any confusion. :slight_smile:

27

@Jason_Coon ​ ok thanks, great ! I am waiting. Publish on this stream to inform me and other possible buyer.

‘ulong’ does not name a type

if anyone can help

@dave_windsor ​ For iremote. Use only one and delete file (folder irremote) on library in program files and in your document. Irremote from arduino cause error on other fastled sketch. And compile with arduino 1.6.5 the portable version work fine. If you get other error or same error I don’t help you. I am only a beginner in arduino. And get similar error with irremote library.

31

@Michael_Aramini_Mick hi thanks only get one error now
‘ulong’ does not name a type
can anyone help

32

@dave_windsor ​ hi, do you have test a different version of fastled arcade master ? And you have test to compil with arduino 1.6.5 or 1.6.7 ?

33

@Michael_Aramini_Mick hi no i dont have another copy of arcade master was a custom sketch by @Jason_Coon and dosent work on any off the versions just shows up this error ‘ulong’ does not name a type

34

@dave_windsor ​ I have test with arduino 1.6.5 + 1.8.2 + 2 version of bounce same error with ulong. Only @Jason_Coon ​ can give us the answer about what it is this ulong and how to solve the error related to it

35

@Michael_Aramini_Mick cool thanks glad its not just me lol have to wait for @Jason_Coon to help us out

36

Compiles fine here, you might try using unsigned long instead of ulong: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Millis

37

@Jason_Coon thanks ill give it a try

38

@Jason_Coon that worked now to get it to run on nano as i have loads of them lol

39

@Jason_Coon ​ thanks good. @dave_windsor ​ you can share with me the final code ? Thanks

@Michael_Aramini_Mick done, along with other improvements: https://github.com/jasoncoon/fastled-arcade
