Purpose
To define a color.
When to use
When you want to control the NeoPixel.
Where to use
Typically at the top of the file, in a color pattern, or when calling SetColor.
Main prototype and parameters
void CrcLib::Color(unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue)
The NeoPixel is quite bright. You probably don’t want to set any value over 25.
Constants
The CRC defines the following Color constants:
NO_COLORRED_HIGH/RED_LOWGREEN_HIGH/GREEN_LOWBLUE_HIGH/BLUE_LOWYELLOW_HIGH/YELLOW_LOWCYAN_HIGH/CYAN_LOWMAGENTA_HIGH/MAGENTA_LOWWHITE_HIGH/WHITE_LOWORANGE_HIGH
The _HIGH variants are very bright and should be used very briefly if at all. The _LOW values are less bright and typically what one would use.
ColorDuration
ColorDuration is a type that includes a color and a duration, used for a pattern displayed by the CrcDuino. The ColorDuration::END indicates the end of a pattern.
Make sure to add the ColorDuration::END at the end of your pattern, else very weird patterns will display.
Use it as such:
// Define a color pattern. Notice the ColorDuration::END at the end.
const ColorDuration PATTERN_ERROR1[] = { { 150, RED_LOW }, { 150, NO_COLOR },
{ 150, RED_LOW }, { 150, NO_COLOR }, { 400, YELLOW_LOW },
{ 2000, NO_COLOR }, ColorDuration::END };
