Thanks VenomCF. The Rostock to me has been a workhorse, however I still had a few challenges in the begining that I ended up overcoming (LCD issues).
Was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to share some sketches I might be able to use. Im currently trying to build my sketch for the unibeam. For the suit I will be using the arduino based tinycircuts board (Audio shield also included). I started experimenting with the colors for my unibeam using the following sketch however I'm not sure how to make this do a gradual increase in brightness like you would see in a power up. I wanted to make this do it at the push of a button. Any assistance that anyone might be able to provide I would be extremely grateful. Once i get that sorted then I want to incorporate the sound with it via a wav file from the audio board.
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 6
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(12, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
strip.begin();
strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}
void loop() {
for ( int led=0; led<12; led++){
strip.setPixelColor(led, 180,20,2);
strip.show();
delay (5);
}
for ( int led=0; led<12; led++){
strip.setPixelColor(led, 200,25,0);
strip.show();
delay (5);
}
}
