NOTE: Please be advised that as of February 2019 the library has not been checked to ensure compatibility with latest version of FastLED.
A visual effects library made to extend the FastLED library by Daniel Garcia. Allows the user to easily display simple yet flashy effects, such as fades, sparkles, static, etc.
To install, download the repo then rename the extracted folder to 'NeoPixelEffects'. Move the renamed folder to your Arduino Libraries folder. Restart Arduino IDE, then open File->Sketchbook->Library->NeoPixelEffects->CometEffectExample sketch.
