Strobe / flash NeoPixel in Rules

[Zodiac69]

Hi All

Hope you can assist me here.
I have a rule that monitor a pin, when the pin goes low(0), i switch a spesific NeoPixel on and when the pin goes high(1) i switch the NeoPixel off.
This works, what i am trying to understand is how can i make the NeoPixel "Strobe / Flash" while it is on?

This is the rule i have at the moment:
On Right#State=0 do
NeoPixel,2,255,128,0
endon

On Right#State=1 do
NeoPixel,2,0,0,0
endon

You can have a look at the loopTimerSet commands: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... oop-timers
I guess the most simple way is to use a variable to keep track of the state of the LED and then in such a loop timer you flip the state of this variable and write it to the NeoPixel LED.

Code: Select all

On Right#State=0 do
  loopTimerSet_ms,1,500
  let,1,0
endon

On Right#State=1 do
  loopTimerSet_ms,1,0
endon

On Rules#Timer=1 do
  if var#1 = 0
      let,1,1
      NeoPixel,2,255,128,0
  else  
      let,1,0
      NeoPixel,2,0,0,0
  endif
endon

I was looking for a similar solution. I was just thinking if there is a display panel with 8 to 10 NeoPixels then it is going to become complex very quickly.

Thanks for the example.
