Hi, I’m new to Arduino and FastLED and have played around with the ‘DemoReel100’ example on my LED’s and the patterns are amazing.
The different patterns switch from one another after a set time, how would I go about changing it so the patterns switch by pressing a button?
Any advice would be appreciated, just bare in mind I’m a complete noob. Thanks.

I actually separated each pattern and wrote new code using switch case to select different patterns so i can add or remove any of them. But yeah youre right it does have some pretty awesome patterns. If you want i can share my code later

That would be great if you could share your code, being able to read through how you have done it mite make it easier for me to understand. Thank you.
