Moved to the forum, from this comment.

Original question:

Hey it’s me again

I’m struggling once again with my LED-Matrix….

I’ve made big changes to my source code…

1. I’m using different switches now

2. I’m having an active low circuit 

3. I kicked out some projects

Now I’m running in a new problem…

My project wasn’t working so I started with a program which was (it was the funmode)

The program uses the Neopixel Library.

I got everything to work and I wanted to slowly add the other programs.

With the Twinklerandom from this page I started to struggle…. (It’s the “Random Color Twinkle” Programm from this page)

The Twinklerandom was working well but the other wasn’t…

I found out that it was cuz one variable was too big…

It’s the NUM_LED’s variable that I use in the Twinklerandom function.

Now I’m having the problem that I can only run this program with 193 LED’s and not with the 340 that I have in my LED strip.

Am I missing an important point?

This isn’t my full code I was focussing on 2 Programs and add another one when these r working fine. And continue with that till I have all my projects in the programm.

Code:

//includes
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>  //Funmode
#include "FastLED.h"            //Aufblinken
//defines
#define PIN 6
#define DATA_PIN 6
#define NUM_LEDS 193
//Funktion-Initialisierung
void funmode();
//void TwinkleRandom(int, int, int, boolean);
//Eingangspins
int aufblinkeneinput = 11;
int funmodeinput = 9;
//andere
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(340, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
void setup() {
  strip.begin();
  strip.show();
  Serial.begin(9600);
  LEDS.addLeds<NEOPIXEL,DATA_PIN>(leds,NUM_LEDS);
  
  //Eingangspins als INPUT definieren
  pinMode(aufblinkeneinput, INPUT);
  pinMode(funmodeinput, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  if(digitalRead(aufblinkeneinput) == LOW) {
    TwinkleRandom(1800,100,150,false);
  }
  if(digitalRead(funmodeinput) == LOW) {
    funmode();
  }
} 
//Hauptfunktion im Loop

    showStrip();
    delay(SpeedDelay);
    if(OnlyOne) { 
      setAll(0,0,0); 
    }
  }
//  delay(SpeedDelay);
}
//3. Funmode
void funmode() {

  colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 255, 0), 50); // Green
  colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 0, 255), 50); // Blue
  // Send a theater pixel chase in...
  theaterChase(strip.Color(127, 127, 127), 50); // White
  theaterChase(strip.Color(127,   0,   0), 50); // Red
  theaterChase(strip.Color(  0,   0, 127), 50); // Blue
  rainbow(20);
  rainbowCycle(20);

}
