ALA animations

Here is a full list of the different animations available in the Animation Library for Arduino (ALA).

Switching/Blinking

ID	Animation	Led	RgbLed	Description
ON	On	Y	Y	Switches on all the LEDs.
OFF	Off	Y	Y	Switches off all the LEDs.
BLINK	Blink	Y	Y	Blink all the LEDs together.
BLINKALT	Blink Alternate	Y	Y	Blink the LEDs alternatively.
SPARKLE	Sparkle	Y	Y	Sparkling effect. Speed of the animation controls the probability of switching on a new pixel. Default value is 1500.
SPARKLE2	Sparkle 2	Y	Y	Similar to 'Sparkle' but pixels fade out. Speed of the animation controls the probability of switching on a new pixel. Default value is 1500.
STROBO	Strobo	Y	Y	Strobo effect with 10% duty cycle. Best effect with duration set between 150 and 300.
CYCLECOLORS	Cycle colors	-	Y	Switches through all the colors in the palette.

Shifting, Scrolling

ID	Animation	Led	RgbLed	Description
PIXELSHIFTRIGHT	Pixel Shift Right	Y	Y	A pixel moving from left to right.
PIXELSHIFTLEFT	Pixel Shift Left	Y	Y	A pixel moving from right to left.
PIXELBOUNCE	Pixel Bounce	Y	Y	A pixel is moving from left to right and back.
PIXELSMOOTHSHIFTRIGHT	Pixel Smooth Shift Right	Y	Y	Similar to the 'Pixel Shift Right' animation but with anti-aliasing to have a smoother animation.
PIXELSMOOTHSHIFTLEFT	Pixel Smooth Shift Left	Y	Y	Similar to the 'Pixel Shift Left' animation but with anti-aliasing to have a smoother animation.
PIXELSMOOTHBOUNCE	Pixel Smooth Bounce	Y	Y	Similar to the 'Pixel Bounce' animation but with anti-aliasing to have a smoother animation.
COMET	Comet	Y	Y	Comet effect. Front LED fully on and a fading trail moving to the right.
COMETCOL	Colored Comet	-	Y	Comet effect. Comet is colored using the palette.
BARSHIFTRIGHT		Y	-	.
BARSHIFTLEFT		Y	-	.
LARSONSCANNER	Larson Scanner	-	Y	This is an effect know as: Cylon Scanner / Larson Scanner / Knight Rider KITT scanner.
LARSONSCANNER2	Larson Scanner	-	Y	Variation of the 'Larson Scanner' effect.
MOVINGBARS	Moving bars	-	Y	Colored bars moving.
MOVINGGRADIENT	Moving gradient	-	Y	Similar to 'Moving bars' but colors fades one into the other with a smooth change.

Fading

ID	Animation	Led	RgbLed	Description
FADEIN	Fade In	Y	Y	Switches on all LEDs smoothly.
FADEOUT	Fade Out	Y	Y	Switches off all LEDs smoothly.
FADEINOUT	FadeIn/Out	Y	Y	Switches on and off all LEDs smoothly.
GLOW	Glow	Y	Y	Similar to 'Fade In and Out' but uses a sine wave that is looking better.
PIXELSFADECOLORS	Pixels fade colors	-	Y	Each pixel fades through all the colors in the palette.
FADECOLORS	Fade colors	-	Y	Fade through all the colors in the palette.
FADECOLORSLOOP	Fade colors loop	-	Y	Similar to 'Fade Colors' but the palette is overflowing to the first color. Useful for circular animations.

Various

FIRE		-	Y	Porting of the famous Fire2012 effect by Mark Kriegsman.
BOUNCINGBALLS	Bouncing Balls	-	Y	Simulate balls bouncing on the floor. The number of balls is the length of the palette.
BUBBLES	Bubbles	-	Y	Colored bubbles. The number of bubbles is the length of the palette.
