Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-Chase

A simple LED effect where one color chases another across the keyboard and back, over and over again. Playful colors they are.

Using the extension

To use the plugin, include the header, and tell the firmware to use it:

#include <Kaleidoscope-LEDControl.h>
#include <Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-Chase.h>

KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(LEDControl,
                          LEDEffect-Chase);

void setup() {
  Kaleidoscope.setup();
}

The plugin provides the LEDChaseEffect object, which has the following methods outside of those provided by all LED modes:

.update_delay([delay])

Defaults to 150 (milliseconds).

.distance([pixels])
