Is this possible TIME + Color + Fade

edited October 2014 in BlinkyTape Fun
I want to create a simple fade on a single blinkytape. Basically all of the lights simultaneously running a program that goes from off, and slowly growing in intensity to bright red over a period of 5 secconds, then the red shifts into orange and sustains untill it is repeated again. We have a super cool video movie that needs this effect and i bought a couple of blinky tapes in hope that this would be easy. Most of the software seems to be about patterns and i am not up to speed with Processing or any other software to know how difficult this is going to be.

Please throw me a bone... i will attempt to learn anything just could use the most straightforward path if possible!!!
Thanks
Mike

    Hey there,

    This is definitely possible. How long would you want this to take? It would be possible to do this via an image in Patternpaint, but it would take a large image to do a slow fade, and the tape may not have enough memory.

    I think the easiest and most direct way to do this might be via editing the Arduino sketch - perhaps by modifying "colorloop" in this one: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape/tree/master/ProductionSketch

    If this doesn't make any sense, maybe I can make a few modifications to that for you.
