“Heh, heh, heh, fire, heh, fire!”

This is the result of integrating Mark’s Fire2012WithPalette example code into my “Bike Blinder” project. I’ve modified it slightly to encapsulate each strip into a class, so they’re all independent. Instances of those classes are then put into an array and fired off by a “frame-first” main loop. The strips are wired boustrophedonically, so I do a couple of fiddles to reverse the odd strips. happy to post the code if anyone’s interested.

Note the ~30W draw from the wall. The aluminium channel the strips are mounted on gets quite hot ;-).

Thanks @Mark_Kriegsman !

would love to see the code. really want to see this frame method. cant quite grasp it.

Give me a chance to sandpaper down some of the rough edges and I’ll put it up some time this week.

What a wonderful word. I had to go to Google to look it up and I can’t imagine using it in conversation but it’s great. Beats zig-zag.

I’m using 8 strips as spokes on a wheel (without turning it) and want to run the animation on each spoke separately, so I’m also very interested in the code!

(I’ve posted the code in another thread, just in case you missed it…)
