LED Heart Fading Patterns
We outlined in the purpose the 6 different modes that this project should have for lighting up the LEDs, but let's go through them one more time to make sure we're clear on what patterns should be generated.
LEDs 'Around The Heart'
The first sequence will light up one LED at the time and go through the entire heart lighting each LED up once. Below you can see an animation of this:
Total Heart Fade-In-Out
The second sequence will fade all LEDs in and out at the same rate 5 times. Below you can see an animation of this:
Vertical Fade Bottom To Top
The third sequence fades the LEDs in a vertical fashion from bottom to top creating a wave-like effect. Below you can see an animation of this:
Horizontal Fade Right To Left
The fourth sequence will fade the LED from right to left, again in a wave-like fashion. Below you can see an animation of this:
Single Row Fade-In-Out
The fifth sequence will fade each row in and out one at a time, leaving all other LEDs off but the active row. Below you can see an animation of this:
Single Column Fade-In-Out
The sixth and final sequence will fade each column in and out one at a time, leaving all other LEDs off. Below you can see an animation of this:
After finishing all of these 6 modes or sequences, the program should return to the first sequence/mode and start doing it all over again. This should repeat forever and ever!
