The Cheerlights-
page with the
current colour purpose
The program also needs the Crossfade-Library by Radek Wierzbicki (source:
https://github.com/radekw/Arduino/tree/5f24ce7c8db9dfbb5252b59824c3217d851
b3a3c). For practical reasons, a copy of the Library version used is enclosed in the
sketch folder. It must be copied into the libraries folder of your sketchbook folder.
The library permits quick and easy definition of colours and also ensures that the
LEDs will slowly change to another colour (this is called fade.
If you upload the program now, the current colour of the LED is displayed after a
few seconds. You can now write a Twitter message and thus change your and
also the colour of all other Cheerlights-users. The message must contain a
#Cheerlights, @Cheerlights or just the keyword Cheerlights and also have one of
the pre-defined colours behind the keyword. The pre-defined colours include:
red, green, blue, cyan, white, warmwhite, purple,
magenta, yellow, orange, pink
