Translating from FastLED to PixelBlaze

Hi folks,

I’m new to LED programming and looking for some guidance on translating a beautiful FastLED pattern called Pacifica to run on the PixelBlaze.

Any experts out there want to give a n00b some pointers? : )

Cheers,

I’ve seen this pattern in videos before. It’s a beautiful tribute to Dan Garcia.

I took a look through and it looks doable. Are you new to Pixelblaze code but experienced with C? Or new to both?

Hi Jeff, yes it is.

I’m inexperienced with both FastLED’s way of doing things and with PixelBlaze code. : )
