Ok this helps out for sure but I'm using the neopixels guess I should have mentioned that. This is the code for the helmet I'm using
#include <Servo.h>
int button = 2; //button, connect to ground
int press = 0;
Servo servo;
Servo servo1;
boolean toggle = true;
void setup()
{
pinMode(button, INPUT); //arduino monitor pin state
servo.write(30);
servo.attach(9); //pin for servo 1 on pin 9
servo1.write(95);
servo1.attach(10); //pin for servo 2 on pin 10
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); //allows pullup for pin high
}
void loop()
{
press = digitalRead(button);
if (press == LOW)
{
if(toggle)
{
servo.write(30);
servo1.write(95);
toggle = !toggle;
}
else
{
servo.write(148);
servo1.write(10);
toggle = !toggle;
}
}
delay(500); //debounce delay
}
And this is the code I got to work on the neopixels
/**

*/
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 7
#define PIXELS 8
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(PIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
strip.begin (); //initiate pixels
strip.setBrightness ( 255 ); //0-255, 255=max brightness
strip.show ();
}
void loop()
{
//for each pixel, light it blue
for ( int i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++ ) {
strip.setPixelColor ( i, 0, 0, 255 ); //pixel, blue
}
//then display to NeoPixels
strip.show ();
//wait a second
delay ( 0 );
//now switch each pixel to black (off)
for ( int i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++ ) {
strip.setPixelColor ( i, 0, 0, 0 );
}
//and display it
strip.show ();
//another second of waiting
delay ( 0 );
}
Can this be combined with the servos I can find other codes but can understand how to make the servos function the way I want for the helmet any thoughts thanks.... this should hopefully be the last thing I have to bug you with I appreciate the help it's been awesome learned a ton about this stuff so far.
