How to stop the effects auto cycling

[knotbeerdan]

This is probably something simple I am overlooking, but has anyone been able to disable the auto effect cycling using the demo project?

I have everything set up and working, I also added a few more effects to the demo project, I also have wifi working and am able to change effects using the web page. But I have tried unchecking the boxes on the web page to try to get it to stay on the effect I would like, but it still continues to cycle through the effects I have set up. I have also tried looking through the code and even tried defining and changing the DEFAULT_EFFECT_INTERVAL but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to stop automatically cycling through the different effects.

If you check the HTML and JS on that page, you can see that there is currently no event handler triggered when the checked state of the checkboxes changes.

I submitted PR #89 last night to address this, please check it out and report back how it goes! Do note:

• Disabling an effect that is currently running does not immediately stop the effect, it will continue to run until DEFAULT_EFFECT_INTERVAL has elapsed
• If you only have one effect in AllEffects[] and you disable that effect, the LEDs will appear to freeze in whatever their final state was after DEFAULT_EFFECT_INTERVAL has elapsed. This does not happen when there are multiple effects in AllEffects[] and all of the effects are disabled because of the fading between effects that sets all LEDs to Off/Black (i.e. the final state of the LEDs is Off/Black)

Fixing these issues will require additional changes to effectmanager.h (and possibly spiffswebserver.h, elsewhere).

That seems to have done exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much for the quick response and the help!
