BlinkyTape header files incompatible!

intenseapple

I purchased my blinkytape months ago to add some custom lighting to my PC. I have already asked this question multiple times, but why aren't the header files from patternplayer compatible with arduino yet!?!?!?! This feature has been MIA for some time now and I was excited to use it to make my light show adaptive. I am quite disappointed that the problem has been brought up by so many people but it hasn't been solved.

Hey - could you give us a little more detail on exactly what you're trying to do? I think there's a good chance that there may be a better way to get there than via the header files.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Essential I am trying to make the blinkytape reactive so I can change patterns at the click of a button or have certain effects depending on what I am currently doing.

Hi there,
Apologies that this functionality hasn't been working. I'm working on getting it updated now. There's a new Arduino library:

And I'm working on a new PatternPaint release now (the issue is here):

Cheers,

Here's an updated version of PatternPaint that should fix this issue:
