Then, go back into the Tools menu and find the Processor option and select “ATmega328 (5V, 16MHz)”.

If your RGB Shades were purchased after July 2015: This version has the Optiboot bootloader. R9 and 10 near the control buttons will be missing. Select the “Arduino Mini” option. Then, go back into the Tools menu and find the Processor option and select “ATmega328”.

rgbshades's Issues

Shades outline seems to crash periodically.

I have noticed on occasion that when shades outline runs, instead of blanking the matrix, and drawing the edge leds, it fills the matrix with a color. Now, at this point, one of two things happens;

1. the outline is replaced with another color, and the animation continues correctly.
2. the whole thing just locks up, and doesn't respond to input.

My (very limited) experience with c tells me that this is likely some sort of overflow, but I can't for the life of me identify where it might be. Pointers (lol) on how to go about debugging this would be appreciated!
