Someone (you?) gave a pull request for that which I merged today. Thanks either way!
I just pushed v0.2.0, in which you can set COLOR_CHANNEL to 0 or 2 rather than the default 1, for red or blue. Eventually I’ll spend the time to allow arbitrary colours.

ahh… is it this?
cRGB LEDDigitalRainEffect::getColorFromComponents(uint8_t primary, uint8_t secondary) {
switch (COLOR_CHANNEL) {
case 0: return CRGB(primary, secondary, secondary);
case 1: return CRGB(secondary, primary, secondary);
case 2: return CRGB(secondary, secondary, primary);
default: return CRGB(0, 0, 0);
thanks, gonna try it now.
That and a bit more, yeah. Full relevant changeset
looks good, I’ll have to try it at night so I can really see the difference(s).
really awesome that one
How do I get this loaded using chrysalis?
I’ve honestly no idea, but if you sit tight there’s a chance this plugin will be part of core Kaleidoscope soon anyway – see https://github.com/tremby/Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-DigitalRain/issues/12

Hola Bart and Gergerly,
I saw you guys working on this over on Git. Do you guys have a time frame of completion on this project? Not nagging, just asking as I can’t get Digital Rain to work on keyboardio 1.96.0, it works on my old machine 1.22. I did manage to get christmas lights to work so I have no complaints.
I tried compiling the sketch but I keep getting different errors (once I fix the first error, then next, etc.) until I got to one that I couldn’t figure out.
Thank you for your contributions.
Afraid I don’t know. I’m waiting on @algernon to answer some questions, and once he’s happy I’ll open a PR to Kaleidoscope. If further changes are necessary I’ll make them. I haven’t ever tried Chrysalis though and don’t really intend to, but if it’s necessary to get it tested and merged I will.
By Keyboardio 1.96.0 what do you mean exactly? Do you mean Kaleidoscope? Chrysalis?
Did you try with the latest code on the refactor branch, as well as just the latest release?
I was not using refactor, but master; sorry.
However, after getting refactor. I get a new error.
C:\Users\JP\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\keyboardio\hardware\avr\1.96.0\libraries\Kaleidoscope\src/Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-DigitalRain.h:3:10: fatal error: kaleidoscope/Runtime.h: No such file or directory
So it looks like in DigitalRain.h is calling Runtime.h, which doesn’t exist.
#include “kaleidoscope/Runtime.h”
#include <Kaleidoscope-LEDControl.h>
Hm. I’m not in a position to debug right now, but I logged in to home
where it’s working for me, and I’ll tell you what versions things are,
in the hope that it may help in some way.
My ~/Arduino/hardware/keyboardio repo is at commit 55065ce, and it
shows that nothing is untracked other than
avr/libraries/Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-DigitalRain.
My ~/Arduino/Mode01-Firmware is based on commit 2f9d140 and my changes
are just disabling some plugins, adding Digital Rain, and changing the
keymap.
I appear to have Arduino 1.8.10.
I have a file called Runtime.h in
~/Arduino/hardware/keyboardio/avr/libraries/Kaleidoscope/src/kaleidoscope/Runtime.h
and that Kaleidoscope subdir is a git submodule – could it be that
you didn’t init/update your submodules when you updated?
Ok. I uninstalled arduino and whacked everything, didn’t clean the registry but reinstalled, redid preferences, get the board, etc.
I got christmas lights and led fire to work but no go on digital rain. Will mess with it more tomorrow.
Thanks Bart for your help.
FWIW, kaleidoscope/Runtime.h needs Kaleidoscope master. It’s not in any of the releases yet, I believe.
(And I’ll try to get back to answering those pending questions so we can proceed - sorry!)
Which were the christmas lights you got working?
Yeah, I tried copying runtime.h and runtime.cpp, then it errors out on device.h, then I copy that in, etc.; eventually I get to a code error (not missing a file or something) and I stop there, then I have to back out all my changes.
I don’t mind troubleshooting until I get to the point where I gotta go modifying code. Man’s gotta know his limitations.
Christmas Lights:
Selectively copying things won’t work, it’s all very interwined within Kaleidoscope. You gotta clone/copy the whole repo.
