# LEDEffect-Rainbow Two colorful rainbow effects are implemented by this plugin: one where the rainbow waves through the keys, and another where the LEDs breathe though the colors of a rainbow. The difference is that in the first case, we have all the rainbow colors on display, and it waves through the keyboard. In the second case, we have only one color at a time, for the whole board, and the color cycles through the rainbow's palette. ## Using the extension To use the plugin, include the header, and tell the firmware to use either (or both!) of the effects: ```c++ #include #include KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(LEDRainbowEffect, LEDRainbowWaveEffect); void setup() { Kaleidoscope.setup(); LEDRainbowEffect.brightness(150); LEDRainbowWaveEffect.brightness(150); LEDRainbowWaveEffect.update_delay(50); } ``` ## Plugin methods The plugin provides two objects: `LEDRainbowEffect`, and `LEDRainbowWaveEffect`, both of which provide the following methods: ### `.brightness([brightness])` > Sets (or gets, if called without an argument) the LED brightness for the > effect. > > Defaults to 50. ### `.update_delay([delay])` > Sets (or gets, if called without an argument) the number of milliseconds > between effect updates. Smaller number results in faster rainbows. > > Defaults to 40. ## Dependencies * [Kaleidoscope-LEDControl](Kaleidoscope-LEDControl.md)
