RGB-Script for chasing colors
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:12 am
Hi!
It would be really helpful, if there was a rgb script, that takes some colors (maximum 5?) and uses them like a chaser, always showing your selection, f.e. r-g-b in these steps using all the lights you have (no leaving out):
Step 1: r-g-b-r-g-b-r-g-b
Step 2: g-b-r-g-b-r-g-b-r
Step 3: b-r-g-b-r-g-b-r-g
Step 4: r-g-b-r-g-b-r-g-b
You got the idea…
The "even/odd" script is close to this, it simulates the good old chasers of the pre-RGB-LED era - which is cool, but it leaves out the possibilities you have with modern LEDs. If you want to use modern possibilities, you can still help yourself with the "even/odd" script, using one color backward and one color forward and merge them in a collection. You can also use a 3-color-chaser with the "gradient" script, type "rainbow" or "abstract" with size=1, but then you're limited to rgb, respectively cmy. It would be much more straightforward, if you could pick the colors and the number of colors, directly.
I'm not a programmer - at least I don't know how to use ECMA-script… So, I depend on the script, which are already there…
