To get to the Holiday Lights! Web App go to: http://digistump.com/holiday

Select the board you want to create a program for - do this first because any changes will be lost if you switch.

Each board can have three scenes loaded.

A scene is a sequence of up to 13 colors for each LED. Each scene can have its own setting for how the LEDs change between colors (different time amounts or by button) and what to do when the end of the longest sequence in that scene is reached (repeat, stop, go to next scene).

You can only edit the second scene after creating something in the first, likewise for the second to third. You can switch between scenes in the app without losing your work.

At the bottom of the web app you'll find various option menus.

Scene Settings: Discussed in the last section.

Main Settings: Select whether a button starts/stops the program or if it just starts at power up. Select whether a button changes scenes.

Download: Download the one click installer for your platform, or the sketch to use in the Arduino IDE (see Holiday Lights! with the Arduino IDE)

Click on an LED to set the sequence of colors for that LED and the visual effect the LED uses.

Effects: * Normal - the color is fully on for the duration of that color in the sequence, indefinitely if a time or button has not been set for changing between colors in the Scene Settings. * Fade - fades the LED in and out in time with the amount of time each color has been set to display in the Scene Settings. Only available if a time is set in Scene Settings. * Pulse (Very Slow to Very Fast) - fades the color in and out at a set speed regardless of the time each color is displayed.

Colors: * 13 boxes are shown for each LED - you can have an LED display up to 13 different colors in sequence for a scene. * The color sequence will advance to the next color based on what is set in the Scene Settings. * If you do not set all LEDs to the same number of colors the shorter sequences will loop back and restart with the first color until the end of the longest sequence is reached. * To have a LED be off for a frame in the sequence set it to black, to have the sequence end set it to “clear” * To have the LED be dimmer set a darker color, the darker the color the less it will light up. * Click a color box to set the color, colors are disabled until the one next to it in the sequence is set to something other than clear. You can use the pre-set colors or hit “choose” to select one with the color picker. The last several selections are remembered. The darker pre-set colors are the same as the lighter ones above them, just darker for dimmer versions.
