Most amazing effects on the LEDs. I am a 56 years (young) beginner in the world of Arduino and individually programmable LEDs. Your videos are like learning A, B, C, D.... covering the most basics and fundamentals... Thank you so much. Great help for people like me..
Scott THANK YOU for these. I've been watching them all today without physically practicing, but I'll be going through them all again hands-on. You're doing an incredible job of introducing new basics and then adding relatively simple but extremely practical complications on top. Exactly what I was looking for.
Scott, You talk a little fast, but, after I paused the video over and over , I think I might understand it a little better. I taught this to high schoolers and they loved it! The MORE comments in your code the better for dummies like me. Thanks for your efforts.
Excellent across the board; communication skills, video quality, organization, level of detail and explanation, technical accuracy all come together nicely here. Hope you keep making videos.
Amazing! Very simple explananation without much fuzz. Saying this as a programmer (not with C++ or FastLED but this is the first video about FastLED I watched and I think I got it pretty well now...)
Thanks Scott. This video "FastLED Basics Episode 3 - Palettes" is fantastic. Palettes are obviously the key to making LEDs dance and your instructions make the abstract concept very understandable. The entire "FastLED Basics" series is must watch TV for anyone that wants to understand how to program LEDs. Thanks again.
You have no idea how helpful this is man. I’ve been looking for something like this for so long. I’m watching all of them. Thanks to you im going to have the coolest room in my apartment complex.
@@ScottMarley Can you tell me how you plotted the Serial print data? Rather than just numbers? I can see this would be a good tool in the toolbox. Thanks
@@donaldmartin2640 there is a good tutorial for the serial plotter here if that's what you're referring to? arduinogetstarted.com/tutorials/arduino-serial-plotter
Thank you so much! These helped me out so much in my projects. This is the most helpful series i've ever found, you deserve all the thanks in the world (:
This video is awesome! I've been using FastLED for YEARS and I've always been apprehensive for the dive into palettes.. but you've done a fantastic job of explaining it! Thank you!
Another great addition to your Playlist. Ill be referencing your videos for a long time to come. Thanks for the time stamps too. That will definitely help in the future viewings!
Just decided to apply leds and fastled to my project and this video is amazing, thank you for explaining every bit and how it works, now i can do what i had in mind, you showed the way!
Thanks for this series, its perfectly paced and great references. Please continue producing them, i and im sure all that are watching are learning so much.
With 300 LEDs in my array the fill_palette fills all with a solid color, is there something else that needs to be done when using more lights? Your videos are amazing!!!!!
Hi Scott, just wanted to say thanks for this GREAT tutorial. I'm very new to FastLED (and Arduino in general) and you're speeding me along the learning curve. Your demo on palettes was a huge missing link for me.
Couldn't get code at 5:01 to work, had to change your parentheses () framing the palette to curly brackets { } or whatever these things are called. Then had to change "myPal" to "purplePalette" down in the fill_palette line. With these two changes the code worked fine. Very beautiful, in fact!
Palette blending is neat but is there a simple way to fade or blend from one fill color to another (where the whole strip smoothly moves between specific solid colors)?
I really enjoy these videos on FastLED. Thanks for putting them together. Could you please explain what the difference between NOBLEND and LINEARBLEND is in some of the Palette functions? Thanks
Say we have red, yellow, green, blue in a palette. I think Noblend should display a block of red LEDs, a block of green LEDs etc. Linearblend will gradually blend between the colours, so red blends into yellow, into green etc. However, when I've played with this, it doesn't seem to work. Not sure if I have the wrong idea though!
@@ScottMarley Thanks for your reply. Makes sense. LINEARBLEND confused me, because if the 1st and last color in the palette are not the same, calling up index 240-255, the color starts to blend back to the 0 index position. I did not expect that. Anyway, thanks again for the great videos. I'm learning a lot!
I am really curious about how these leds work . Like with just voltage input how can we controll leds connected in series separately. Please let me know
Hi Scott!! Thank you very much for these videos!! I have a question, is there any way we can implement the patterns not starting from the first LED?? It is very important for the project I'm making :)
So when doing the color palette at the beginning, I set the NUM_LEDS to 20, but it seems to go past that point and statically illuminate the LED's in the gradient, but they don't move. Expected behavior?
QUESTION 2: If I'm undersatnding fadeToBlackBy, it's automatically fading ALL lit pixels to black at once at that time, but the loop goes back and reruns the EVERN_N_MILLISECOND and a new LED is lit with a random palette color. Thus going back to the fade function and it will attempt to fade that pixel to black. I was confused because the function you specify the "leds" and the "NUM_LEDS," and I was expecting some kind of loop function to specify the specific led that just got lit from the above EVERN_N statement.
I have 300 LEDs and the "255 / NUM_LEDS" in the "fill_palette()" doesn't work properly. It changes the color of the whole strip at the same time. I noticed that if the value of the argument goes under 1 that tends to happen. "255 / NUM_LEDS" is about 0.85. How do i fix this?
So im using the palette code but with 300 leds and once it gets to around 45 or more it starts to flicker or kind of stutter any soultion for this? Thanks
And I continue to learn how much I can reduce the code I write and how quickly I can get results compared to the brute force coding method I've been going with over the last 4 or 5 years.
When I try to use fadeToBlackBy, I notice the whites will faint to red before fizzling out. Is this because of my LED strip quality or is it because of some misconfiguration?
That sounds like it might be a voltage issue on the LEDs (or crappy LEDs!). Check with a multimeter at various points along the strip that your LEDs are all getting around 5V. If not, you might have a power issue.
You could, but you'd have to do it a different way to what I've done here. The trick is to use the blend function. There is an example here of using blend to mix two palettes together using a beat, which isn't what you want to do, but might give you a starting point. gist.github.com/kriegsman/581b90df86b444934729
It depends on exacatly the effect you are going for. If you wanted it to smoothly change the whole strip from one color to another through the palette, create your palette as usual (let's call is myPal) outside your loop. Also outside your loop: uint8_t index = 0; Then: loop { EVERY_N_MILLISECONDS(30){ index++ } fill_solid(leds, NUM_LEDS, colorFromPalette(myPal, index)); FastLED.show(); } Or something like that. It very much depends on what you're going for. Make sure the last color in your palette is the same as the first color so when index jumps from 255 back to 0 the color doesn't jump also.
Hello Scott , I really like the LED Palettes effects, I want these effects to flash according to the line in aux music. Can you share with me? Thank you very much. I'm not an expert in arduino programming so I don't know. edit code. Thanks
Hey Scott, amazing videos, one of the best on RUclips..one question..i use 60 leds and externsl power supply (20watt) So its more then enough for arduino and leds..but when I disconenct USB from my computer, animstions(for exaple rainbow) it just freeze. Why that happens? Now that I programed lights and I Like it, i would Like to put them and arduino on then wall..so I need to disconenct arduino from computer..but when I do that, the leda just stop right as they were when i pulled USB out from computer..how to continue using automated patterns created for leds without computer? Thank you once again..its amazing what you do.. :)
Make sure your external power supply is connected to the 5V pin (not Vin) and ground pins on the Arduino, as well as to the strip. Other than a power issue, there is no reason that it should stop when you disconnect the usb.
@@ScottMarley yes, im doing just that, but it freezes when I unplug it..otherwise again, amazing videos..recomending then to frends that have intereset in those stuff..really amazing, keep up with good work..
@@dokortiz1430 Thank you, that's very kind! When the lights freeze, that means the Arduino is no longer talking to them. Have you used a multimeter to check that there is 5V going to the Arduino? I can't see any other reason why it would do that other than a power issue. What happens if you don't connect usb at all, and only connect the power supply?
@@ScottMarley then nothing happens, only power supply buzzing..and when I connect USB to arduino buzzing stops, and everything Works Like its supposed to..I used your schematics..
@@dokortiz1430 have you measured if the Arduino is getting 5v from the power supply? It shouldn't be buzzing at all, and if it is, it's odd that it stops when connected to the usb. It sounds like a very poor (possibly broken) power supply. Do you have a different power supply to test with? Try it with a phone charger (1A is fine for testing, 2A if you have it) if you have a way to connect it to your LEDs.
@@ScottMarley Maybe a compressor or gate that is in stereo mode? there is definitely a difference between the channels. But I got used to it until episode 5 now :D
Love this video! Is it possible to use paletteknife with a toggle switch? I have been trying to integrate it in another sketch that uses colorpalettes, but it just won't work.
Paletteknife just gives you a way of downloading predefined palettes. Once you have your palette defined, you can use it like any other palette. It is of course possible to switch between a palette using a toggle switch. In pseudo-code: if(digitalRead(toggle_pin)) { fill_palette(blah blah)}; else {fill_palette(blah, blah)}. Which part isn't working?
@@ScottMarley Ahh I figured out what went wrong. It said 'Sunset_Real_gp' was not declared because I included CRGBPalette16 myPal = Sunset_Real_gp; in the code that already had CRGBPalette16 currentPalette; I was trying to integrate it into Amelia Tetterton's Fastled PaletteButton sketch (codebender.cc/sketch:433123#FastLED%20Palette%20Button.ino) and her void loop was a little less intuitive to me than the one you suggested, but nonetheless it works :) For anyone interested I pasted the code here: pastebin.com/4RnVGi1j The Paletteknife case is the 3rd one.

Hi Scott- thanks again, i have got most of you projects running. Two questions: is it possible to get one programming running, then another etc, i.e how do you stitch code sequences together. More importantly are there any books or on line tutorials to learn this code format cheers Adrian .
Yes, absolutely! You could do something like: CRGBPalette16 myPalette; myPalette[0] = CRGB(255,255,0); ... myPalette[15] = CRGB(169,234,89); Or whatever :) you could go through from 0-15 in a for loop changing each RGB value slowly if you wanted to, use predefined colours or use HSV (although you'd have to convert to RGB I think before you add them to the palette).
You need to follow my instructions. I'm not looking at your code on a video. If you can't do what I'm asking you here, you won't be able to fix your code. I'm very busy and don't have time to mess about like this.

Hey Scott!! Just wanted to suggest a slight improvement to your code.

Hi Martin, I'm not quite sure what you mean? Do you mean how to run anything at all on the Arduino? If so, there are plenty of videos out there on how to upload your first sketch to the board. FastLED is not a good starting point if you've never run an Arduino sketch before - get comfortable with that then come back and have fun with this stuff!

How would you use a 16 color palette to change the entire strip from one color to another, instead of scrolling across the strip?
