LED Animations / Effects

[RobG 1,892]

If you have any code or ideas, can you share them here?

 

This should be animation/effect function only, no driver code. Pixel data could be calculated, come from array of constants, or both.

 

For smaller number of LEDs, let's use a buffer, for example: char leds[] = { R0, G0, B0, R1, G1, B1, R2...} The function should update values in the buffer.

 

For larger number of LEDs, the function should do a call to send(char R, char G, char or sendByte(char byte)

 

LED arrangement, I guess strip, 4 x 4, 8 x 8, 16 x 16, etc.

 

 

Let's get creative and see what we can come up with

 

(I will be working on fire and snow.)

Have you seen Independence Day? There is a scene where the Heli(Welcome Wagon) tried to greet the Alien ship.

I cannot find any videos of it.. but there are these rows of LEDs that does some sort of animation.

Cylons!

Are you listening to a scanner? I sometimes have mine running too.

A scanner for police/fire and 2 ham radios with dual watch monitoring the four local repeaters.

There's a reason they're called a "Larson scanner": Glen A. Larson developed Battlestar Galactica (1978) and Knight Rider (1982).

 

Sorry, I am a Gen-X'r (born 1970) so I have to know these things. ;-)

Gotcha beat by 8 years, AND grew up with a "television industry" family. I know how you feel. ;-)

 

Loving all the patterns! Thanks for the code! I'm going to have to try these out when I get my RGB strip!

Opposing Larson with color merging/mixing? (Multicolor with merge/shift in passes)

By your command.

I don't need to comment again. But that's good work.

But can it play Crysis? ;-) Sorry, had to say it.

I'm waiting for the reboots of "Automan" and "Max Headroom"

 

Anyone?
