having problem to run two effect in one single program

hello, sir i am trying your examples but having trouble to add two example in one program i am giving example please check and solve my problem.

only one example is running (repeating patterns) this is happening in most of your examples please help me.

I had a look at my original program and there were no delay statements.

I recommend that you learn how to write your routines so that they don't use blocking delay statements, and that includes FastLED.delay.

[LedArts]

sir this is your updated program

and i think your original program is this

/* easing

This simple program demonstrates the easing capability of FastLED. The Red LED starts out slow, speeds up and then slows down when it gets to the end.

It uses uint8_t variables:

easeOutVal = ease8InOutQuad(easeInVal); // Start with easeInVal at 0 and then go to 255 for the full easing. ledNum = lerp8by8(0, NUM_LEDS, easeOutVal); // Map it to the number of LED's you have.

Ideas:

• Ease from 128 to 255 to throw something in the air
• Ease from 255 to 128 and reverse direction for it to fall back.
• Reduce the lerp8 value after each cycle to simulate a bouncing ball.
• Send me a real simple example.
• Profit!!!1!

so should i try this?????????? is it work?

[LedArts]

but sir both are looking same.

[atuline]

I recommend starting out with something that works and then modifying it slowly.

Make small changes and see how it works out. If it breaks, then you'll need to go back and fix it and move on from there. That's how I learned.

[atuline]

Having a quick look at your code:

1) It's not indented, thus making it harder to read. 2) They are NOT the same. Although you are trying to blend the routines, but you have broken it by adding delay statements in your code. You cannot blend routines AND have delay statements in your code. 3) You have used nested for loops with delay statements. By adding a Serial.println("X"); statement in the top of the loop(), it's obvious that your repeating_pattern() program is taking all the time. The Arduino is not multi-tasking, so the easing() routine will not run while your repeating_pattern() routine is taking all the time. 4) Comment out the repeating_pattern(); statement from your loop and you'll see that the easing section runs fine.

In summary:

• Do not use nested for loops in your code.
• Most importantly, do not use delay statements in your code.
• Add Serial.println(); statement to your code to debug it.

Please have a look at my video at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7am6PYh4PM

Note the showfps() function in that video. If your fps is below 100, then you need to re-think your routine.

So, please re-write your repeating_pattern() routine so that it does not use delay statements and nested for loops.

ok sir....i will do it as you say.

thank you soooooooo much......
