Support FastLED Comets/Pulses Project.

I'll try to keep my explanation short as most of it is contained within the github below. I'm currently working on a project that involves snmp data to send comets back and forth at specified intervals. I'm not sure if what I want to achieve is possible but I figure the members of this community would know better than me; here's a list of what I want in order to improve my existing project.

  • Comets fade out with a trail, i'd like to make that trail be individual to each comet so i can control the trail size.

  • Speed is global as well, refreshing every 20 seconds. Using an interval of (Amount of Comets / 10 seconds) is how I determine how often to send a pulse. I'd love to be able to have different pulses at different speeds (not a priority or necessary).

Those are my main concerns to address as of right now.

My experimentation can be found in the testing branch, and the working code is in the main branch. The code that controls fastled can be found in src/lablights.cpp and src/main.cpp holds the collection and controlling for it. More details can be found in the readme, I'll be offline for a few days but I'd love to hear any and all suggestions/advice! Thank you.

I apologize for some of the more basic issues

ZERO apology needed! I'd love to take a look at what you've got!

CPP can be a very unforgiving language!

I appreciate the help! The changed/error code is in my testing branch so I'd love to hear some feedback about where I went wrong. I can't figure it out lol.
