The biggest difference in sparkfire is the strobing effect. Too frequently the entire strip of LEDs will flash white. I can’t seem to limit the frequency and or the amount of LEDs that partake in the strobing effect.

The end of the video captured the strobe.

> Thanks Jeff! I will give this a shot tomorrow. I am super excited to learn what I can do with the setup and I appreciate the help. I can already see some limitations in how I wired it though. Here’s a video when it runs correctly. The biggest drawback is that it doesn’t look random due to the symmetry of how I wired it. It would be really cool to get to a point where each gable side has it’s own spark-fire pattern running randomly.
