Hiii!
I wonder if the powers that be can make a section for user made code patterns.
Obviously there will be millions of variations of our led projects, but some user code on making pretty flashes would be awesome to us non c minded code hopers 
Thanks
My approach is to avoid writing c or having to upload code frequently - so I wrote a thing to send all the led values over serial, so then I can write in whatever language I like, and different programs written in different languages. It’s a little limited by the Arduino serial max speed, but not much slower than the ws2811 can do anyway. It wouldn’t work for tv displays, but a teensy would.
For most of what I do, connecting to a computer is not practical, even a pi would be overkill, so I have to do the bulk of my pattern programming on the arduino/teensy devices directly. What’s nice is that this drops my power usage through the floor
I want to move off of google code and provide an overhaul’d site for the library - which will hopefully include a place for people to upload sample pattern code. In the meantime, i’ve made a category for code samples in the community here.
that’s awesome! thanks! and i’m sure that it will definitely help the community, or at a minimum, inspire!
Also - the next major version of FastLED will hopefully contain a task/pattern/rendering/oscillator library that i’ve been working on developing for my own projects, at least as something that people can use as a reference. It’s a bit too unstable now (in terms of me breaking the APIs and rewriting it) for me to put it up anywhere yet, though.
