Hi to all,
I am still learning to use PIC micros and am using MikroBasic from Mikroelektronica.
Most of my projects I just learn how to do by trial and error and most of the time I am successful (sometimes after months though) and they work out in the end.
However I am stuck on something that I thought would be simple until I tried to do it!
I made my first LED chaser years ago using logic chips and recently saw one on u-tube that I thought was stunning. I have posted the link below.
What I can't get my head round is how the program makes such effects, if its an algorythm then its beyond me.
I have built a 32 LED chaser using a PIC16F887 and it works fine simply as a chaser but I don't have a clue how the different effects are made.
Can anyone explain the way or ways to do this in software? I am not asking anyone to write the code for me, just give me a push in the right direction.
Edit, I don't want to have all the options that the fusion light has, just the pattern between 31 and 34 seconds would do me nicely.
Thanks Al
