Turn on effect one pixel at a time, left to right

Questions
1

Hey guys,

I want to have Colour Winkles turn on one pixel at a time moving left to right and a version that moves right to left for some directional presets.

Is this posable?

You might try the Wipe, Sweep, Lighthouse, Sinelon (and perhaps other) effects.
Using the Reverse option on a segment is a simple way of reversing the direction.

Thanks for that, but I have a specific idea in mind.

So here is my lights running colour winkles

And I want to turn each pixel on at a time, so that it “flows” up the hallway at a certain speed and direction Which Ill base on a MMwave sensor.

It seems like there isn’t even an effect that turns on like that?

At the moment I’m using “bouncing balls” but its not great or very controllable :frowning:

Im really surprised there is not something that doesn’t at least turn on gradually

If you want everything on at the end of the cycle, I’d try “Sweep”.
Trying to get it sync’d to your sensors may be a challenge.

Maybe Im doing it wrong, but when I click sweep its all on with like a leading LED moving across?

Its not off transitioning to on.

I thought about using segments of 10 LEDs each. But transition doesn’t seem to do what I think it would do, transition one segment to another. :frowning:
