2 modes of operation: McLighting + Other about mclighting HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @dimiHH,

thanks for the good feedback.

Regarding your idea: Wouldn't it work to check for button presses in the main loop() and change the mode according to your keypresses. So you could cycle through predefined modes.

Analog A0 should be used. Where did you see that? You're free to use the pins that are not covered be the LED strip.

thanks for the quick response @toblum , your approache also seems more elegant (it makes it possible to switch to to other predifined modes via the the browser without "unswitching" a physical button first)

So as see it, the following things need to be done for the changes I want:

1. define a function "whitelight" somewhere in colormodes.h

void whitelight () {
         
	checkForRequests();
	if (exit_func) {
		exit_func = false;
		return;
	} 
         // is the upper part necessary?:

    strip.setColor(255, 255, 255);
    strip.setBrightness(analogRead (map(0, 1024, 0, 255) );
    strip.setMode(FX_MODE_STATIC);
}

2. Add the whitelight-mode to the state machine in McLighting.ino (e.g. after the TV-Mode):

  if (mode == WHITELIGHT) {
    whitelight ();
  }

3. Add a physical pushbutton and corresponding code, that sets the mode==WHITELIGHT if button is pushed. ( at the very beginning of the main loop() in McLighting.ino):

if (button.onPressed()) { //button.onPressed function is from RBDbutton library -Button will be at GPIO12
 mode = WHITELIGHT;
}

Would that already be it or did I miss something?

Thanks!
Dimi

PS:
About the A0 usage:
in this loop A0 is used - what is it for? --> It seems, that the analog input is/can be send to the webinterface aswell. Is this used to controll the brightness globaly (i.e. for all the modes)? If yes, that would make the code adjustments minmal (on button-push only the colors need to be set to white and the mode has to be changed to mode=ALL)

From what I can see here, this should work.

Regarding A0: This is just some sample code I forgot. It has no real function. The line
