Heartbeat effect is different with last update

Hi @Aircoookie,

all the movement is gone with the last changes you made to the heartbeat effect.
It has become an “analog style effect” now - I really liked the one before.

Couldn’t we add the new hearbeat variant “on top” and not “instaead” ?

Hi :slight_smile:
I am not sure you already saw my reply here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/issues/692#issuecomment-587590722

I liked your Heartbeat effect a lot but it was causing issues due to the memmove used. I really want that effect to be in WLED though, so maybe I have time in the next few days to have a look at how we can replace the memmove with getPixelColor() calls, as memmove doesn’t work for segments that don’t start at LED 0, are reverse, or have a non-standard grouping.
Don’t worry, it will get re-added but I had to pull it temporarily becuase it didn’t quite work yet.

Hi @Aircoookie, no - sorry - I did not read that …

Yes, memcopy is fast but you are totally right - this will only work with segment 0 I think.
I try to find a way getting the same effect with “normal NeoPixel Code” instead of patching the bytes …

Thx for you fast reply !
