I’m sure this is probably p simple, but I’m on a tight timeline. If someone could point me in the right direction for this:
Has anyone made a sketch that has LED strips cycle between gradients every time a digital input is activated (like a button or potentiometer or photocell or timer used as digital input)?
(as in, when toggle activated strip showing gradientn+1 [out of gradient1, gradient2, gradient3])

If possible, I am going to try to also make the color palettes cycle across the different strips, but that part should be easier.
(as in, when strip connected to pin 3 is showing gradient1, pin 4 is showing gradient2, etc)

Should I use the loop code from demoreel100?
How do I get it to work with inputs?

github.com

FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/examples/DemoReel100/DemoReel100.ino

#include <FastLED.h>

FASTLED_USING_NAMESPACE

// FastLED "100-lines-of-code" demo reel, showing just a few 
// of the kinds of animation patterns you can quickly and easily 
// compose using FastLED.  
//
// This example also shows one easy way to define multiple 
// animations patterns and have them automatically rotate.
//

Here’s a modified version of Demoreel100 that uses a button to change patterns.

//***************************************************************
// This is Mark Kriegsman's FastLED DemoReel100 example with
// a modificaiton to use a button for changing patterns.  The
// timer used for picking a new pattern has been commented out
// and there is a button check inside the main loop now.
//
// Search for "button" to find the various button related
// code additions.
//
// You can view the serial monitor to see a message when the
// button is pressed.

Cool looking project.
