Mesmerising, great work

Not compiling for me (using FastLED 2.1). First off, I don’t think it liked the GRB reordering for NeoPixels (which I can easily fix). In addition,

twinklesparkle2014:27: error: new declaration ‘CHSV HeatColor(uint8_t)’

Update: To get rid of the 2nd problem, you need to comment out the redefinition of HeatColor.

Hi, @Andrew_Tuline . Shoot, I wonder why that CHSV error is coming up. In @Mark_Kriegsman 's Fire2012 code, he defines HeatColor as a CRGB function and then again defines heatcolor as a CRGB object.

CRGB HeatColor( uint8_t temperature)
{
CRGB heatcolor;
//other stuff
}

Can you not do the same thing with CHSV on FastLED 2.1?

Hi Daniel, I should have a look at his demo and check the difference. Either way, if you’re not using 2.1 you should get onto it. There’s a lot of cool things like noise, fast math, palettes, power management and easing in there.

Edit: Also, FastLED 2.1 contains Fire2012WithPalette. It’s a whole new ballgame.
