24 neopixel ring

[seattlebuster]

I'm going to attempt the 24 neopixel ring, is it as simple as changing the code to reflect that number in the ring?

Good question, in theory it should if you change:

#define CYCLOTRON_NUM_LEDS 35

that to 24. However it may spin too fast, so you may need to use lower delay multipliers on these:

const int i_2021_inner_delay = 10;
const int i_1984_inner_delay = 6;

As those are configured for 35 rings. The lower the number the slower it will go. So maybe try a 8 for 2021 and 4 for 1984. Adjust as needed. Let me know how it looks and what numbers you find looked the best for a 24 ring, then it can be added to the code.

I suggest keep looking for a 35. You could try a 24 but the diameter of the 35 is perfect.

Found this one...should still work with the code?

Yup

I'm going to grab one of these rings. Is it wired the same way as NEO-CYC?

[gpstar81]

Yes it is wired the same.

Closing this out as the new EEPROM menu provides a standard option for 24-pixel inner cyclotron rings as well as other popular sizes.
