Arc

An arc pattern moves across a chain of LEDs, setting them all to a certain color until the segment is filled. The pattern has four properties and three toggles:

• Color: The color property sets the color of the arc when it is at its brightest.

• Contrast: The contrast property sets the contrast of the arc when it is at its brightest.

• Position: The position determines where in the strip the edge of the arc is. By default, it is moving across at a steady speed, but the position can also be set to a module output such as a distance module.

• Speed: The speed property determines how long it takes the arc to move across the strip. Longer times (higher numbers) will result in a slower arc and shorter cycle times (lower numbers) will result in a faster arc.

• Direction: The direction toggle changes the direction that the arc moves. Default is from pixel 1 in the chain to the last pixel in the chain (from start to end). By switching the direction toggle to "end," you move the arc in other direction.

• Gradient: Gradient adds pixels of the same color as the arc to the front of the arc, blurring the edge of the arc as it sweeps across the segment.

• Bounce: The bounce toggle will set the arc moving back and forth across the strip instead of running from one end to the other and then jumping back to the start again.
