Hi @nagelc , thanks for coming back to me - Apologies I didn't realise you'd replied nearer the time.
Am I right in thinking, so long as I define the new patterns function later on in the sketch - I can include it in the switch of function updateLightPattern, and it will be added to the mapping?
How do we know what definitive figures the 0 to 100 percentage map to in 0 to 15? Or is that basic arithmetic and each switch state will be called in each 'chunk'. I also only count 10 items in the switch state. Does that mean we can add 5 more? and if wanting more than 15 simply change our mapping size to have more?
Appreciate the help.
void updateLightPattern(){
// global: curPattern, updatePatternDelay, lastPatternUpdate
unsigned long now = millis() ;
if (now > lastPatternUpdate + updatePatternDelay){ // check if time for update
switch (curPattern) {
case pAlarm: // flash light
patternAlarm();
break ;
case pFire: // wild fire
patternFire();
break ;
case pFire2: // cosy fire
patternFire2();
break ;
case pCandle: // flame
patternCandle();
break ;
case pCircle: // flame
patternCircle();
break ;
case pRainbow: // rotating rainbow
patternRainbow();
break ;
case pSinelon: // rotating rainbow
patternSinelon();
break ;
case pSolid: // do nothing fall through
case pOff:
case pOn:
default : // def
break ;
}
lastPatternUpdate = now ;
}
}
