with the dev libraries? Im getting a compiling error with the original

Code: Select all

ketch_feb07b.cpp: In function 'void Lightning()':
sketch_feb07b:185: error: redeclaration of 'int newdata'
sketch_feb07b:166: error: 'int newdata' previously declared here

Dammit. It's been a long day. :D

I fixed it. Recopy and try again, with the regular, non-dev libraries.

Ok if I change the trigger to be sent on channel 2 only channel 2 flashes

No change on the effect still not ramping up.

Hmmm. Give me a couple of days (one more 12 hour shift today and then some time off).

Note that this one doesn't necessarily go to black. You should have (fast) flashes that return to the previous white channel values.

Awesome!

I still don't know what was wrong. Had to be something interfering with the trigger on channel 1. The new way is better anyway. :mrgreen:
