Hey FastLED community! I seem to be having trouble with my first project.

@Jarrod_Wagner YES! It appears that is exactly my problem with the blinking modes. Thank you! I have not used the millis function but will work on it today and post the finished code. In the meantime, I created a new paste for button mode vs rotary. Maybe they can help someone down the road when finished.

@Juergen_Bruegl I am going to take the encoder off the scooter and put it on a breadboard for testing. Somewhere around here I found an example of the rotary encoder used to control brightness. In thinking about my use it makes more sense to have the button push change modes and the rotary encoder change brightness. That way I do not need LOW and HIGH versions of each mode.

More to come after testing…

@Jarrod_Hiscock And you just solved for me how to rewrite the blink functions. Thank you so much. You all are fantastic.

It works! Everything is working flawlessly now! [w/ the button – I will still debug the encoder but now I feel good with one option working well.]

Thank you @Juergen_Bruegl @Jarrod_Wagner and @Jarrod_Hiscock for the help. I will be sure to take a picture of the ‘art car’ on playa for the FastLED page. :smiley:
