- Using colorcodes.h instead of rgb values
Using colorcodes.h instead of rgb values in code, because i got tired of typing numbers :)
use this file and include it in the source File:colorcodes.h.txt
already changed sources Sample ON: File:Neopixel_all_on_colorcodes.ino.txt Sample OFF: File:Neopixel_all_low_colorcodes.ino.txt
- Simple blink in one color
