Marquis

This patten is used to indicate that you are at the start of the automatic sequence mode. It consists of only 6 steps that all are run in about 8/10ths of a second. The sequence is designed so that it automatically wraps giving the illusion of the LEDs marching around the edge of the tree. A real astute observer may notice that the two green LEDs on the bottom of the tree both end up on at the same time because there isn't actually a perfect multiple of 3 LEDs around the edge of the tree. Once the Marquis has run 44 times it advances on to the next pattern.

Swing Pattern

Written by John Toebes

Swing

This patten is representative of a pendulum. It consists of 10 steps that take about 1/4 second each step. The pattern stops at each edge to give that feeling of the pendulum slowing and turning around. Although the LEDs aren't perfectly in line for part of the swing, the speed and the use of half intensity keeps the illusion of a swinging arm. When in automatic pattern mode, once the arm has swung back and forth has run 12 times it advances on to the next pattern.
