Special RGB Shades code with selectable Christmas and New Years patterns
HOW TO SWITCH MODES
- Turn off RGB Shades
- Hold down button(s) to select modes as below:
- Button 1: New Years
- Button 2: Christmas
- Buttons 1 and 2: Normal mode
- While holding down your selected button(s), turn the RGB Shades on
- RGB Shades will be in the selected mode
- This mode will be saved in EEPROM so you only need to do it once per mode change
Use Version 3.0 or later https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED ZIP file https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/archive/master.zip
Use Arduino IDE 1.0 or later
If your RGB Shades were purchased before July 2015: This version has the standard Arduino bootloader. R9 and R10 near the control buttons will be present. Select the “Arduino Pro or Pro Mini” option. Then, go back into the Tools menu and find the Processor option and select “ATmega328 (5V, 16MHz)”.
If your RGB Shades were purchased after July 2015: This version has the Optiboot bootloader. R9 and 10 near the control buttons will be missing. Select the “Arduino Mini” option. Then, go back into the Tools menu and find the Processor option and select “ATmega328”.
