Hello friends, Iam a newbe… an here is the million dollar question :slight_smile:
is there some guide for coding , to understand what iam doing :slight_smile:
Have a big projekt for my rc helicopter.

My setup is a Arduino mini pro with an sparkfun usb breakout.
for testing a circle with 16 leds.

have many questions, to control specific leds on one comand or something.

Thank you very much! Nice Vids are in group :slight_smile:

Welcome! Have you tried the examples yet? Blink, Cylon, etc?

Hello Jason!
yes i have allready tryed this. it works perfektly.

my problem is i have 5 meter stripe with 60LEDs per Meter
wich is in order of the helicopter contour. Imagine ?:slight_smile:

for example:

i want to put in a white dot light wich run through the stripe from the front to the end of stripe. LED on , next LED on, last LED of. you know ? But for 300 LEDs i need a routine.

a next important thing i need to know is,

is it possible to control a partial area with one command to set 10 LED streak into blue for example to turn of to turn on or strobe?

:slight_smile: I know many questions :slight_smile:

sry for my bad English.

Great, so the next step is to start modifying the examples, and learn basic C syntax, if you don’t already. Even if it’s not exactly what you want, you’ll need to understand the examples, and how to extend them. Crawl, walk, then run. :slight_smile:

If you’re new to C, read up on “for loops”. Arduino has some great tutorials/examples: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/For

I think the Cylon example is similar to your first request (running a dot through the strip): https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/examples/Cylon/Cylon.ino

The answer to “is it possible” is almost always “yes”. :slight_smile:
