I have a lot of ideas now that I’ve seen some of the capabilities of the library I’m using. I may need a normal mode and a fancy mode. Normal mode would be just a color for different states and having a different color that tracks the current position, likely covering the width of the core. It could perhaps change color when it reaches the limits.
Fancy mode could do more interesting things. Like displaying the lights in a wave traveling in the direction it’s moving. Maybe in the alarm state have a flame effect coming from the core.
I don’t think I have a good way of getting if an endstop is triggered without wiring something to the endstop pins on the Jackpot.
I like @jamiek’s solution to that:
