Hi guys,
Is it possible to control Neopixel ring using Blynk. I am using the Adafruit Huzzah (Nodemcu) flashed to run Arduino.
I am able to successfully control the built in Blue & Red Leds using Blynk Buttons.
I am now interested in controlling my neopixel using Blynk.
Is there any example sketch of Neopixel beinng controlled using Blynk switch, ie
For example Switch 1 - Rainbow Sequence
Switch 2 - Strobe Sequence
Switch 3 - Theater Chase Sequence.
Overall awesome product by Blynk. 
I guess your Huzzah is basically an Arduino now so I don’t see why not.
Take a look at Science Exposure
I will check the pins of the Huzzah shortly and get back to you.
@Blynk182 October 2015 article (bottom of the page) at http://lucstechblog.blogspot.com.cy/2015/10/neopixels-ws2812-intro.html confirms Neopixel works with ESP8266 Arduino IDE on the NodeMCU.
Back in May 2015 @db3 was looking at doing the same as you at ESP8266 & Neopixels but it’s unclear if he got it working.
If you check the thread http://community.blynk.cc/t/esp8266-neopixels/515 again I have managed to get it working.
Did you ever make any progress on this choice of animations by button press?
I’ve got the pixels working for static colour choice using Zergba and RGBW sliders, which both update each other and allow me to pick the colour I want from Blynk using either method.
I’ve also got the pixels working for animations outside of Blynk with no problems.
What I want to do now is set some animations that will run whilst one button is pressed and keep running that animation whilst the button (in switch mode) is set on. However, when turning the switch off, the animation should end, or when selecting another button, the animation should finish and change to newly selected animation.
Not sure where to keep the blynk stuff being run, whilst repeating the animation. Basically I want to do exactly what the OP asked about, but haven’t seen code for that anywhere yet.
