LEDStrip | JavaScript simulation of WS2812 LED

I wanted to remote control my ledstrip so I was using the internet feature in my esp8226. I programmed it in visual code studio (my code worked there) and copy pasted the code to arduino ide. The problem is that the javascript part of it doesn't work.

My goal is to have an HTTP request initiate a While(true) loop, until another request comes. When a second request comes, I want the first While(true) loop to be cancelled and a second one with different content to be run. My problem is I'm unsure of the best way to approach this. I've tried using Threads, Tasks, even putting the while(true) loops in my Controller (which I later found is really bad practice since controller objects are created on the fly), putting them in my model, etc.

The issue I encounter time and time again is that the while(true) loop doesn't stop. I can't get it to stop, whether by interrupting a thread, changing a boolean variable. I think this comes from a high-level misunderstanding I have about the lifecycle of requests and MVC objects.

Specifically, I am trying to start a while(true) loop that will write a specific lighting sequence to LED strips (i.e. Rainbow themed, Jungle themed, carousel, etc.). To iterate over different colors and write continuously, I need a while(true) to loop until interrupted. Conceptually this is what I have in mind:

Different things I've tried in terms of code are as follow:

1. Running the task from the controller (Not going for this anymore -- while loop never ends and is apparently bad practice).

I am new to C++ I come from a C# background. I am creating an Arduino project using c++ using vs code thanks to https://docs.platformio.org/ .

The following code works and turns on my led strip:

main.cpp

I have a problem. I am using the following extension in my code: https://github.com/andreinitescu/IconApp

With that I can control the color of an image. I implemented that in my own code like this:

I have a problem. I want to use an IconView to change the color of an Image, so I use this project: https://github.com/andreinitescu/IconApp.

Now I added the Renderers in both IOS and Android and I added the IconView.cs class to the project. In my xaml I am trying to use the following code:

I have a problem. What I am trying to do is bind an ImageSource from a ViewModel. The image file name is called ledstrip.png and is located in the Resources/Drawable folder. I am using the following xaml:

i am trying to write a class for an arduino projekt, i am using the information in http://paulmurraycbr.github.io/ArduinoTheOOWay.html as a guide.

I want to set up a lighstrip for further use and constantly keep getting the errormessage: error: use of 'this' in a constant expression.

My code looks like this:

I'm setting up my Christmas village early so I can make changes to it this year. I'm trying to get an LED strip and a string of LED lights to fade at varying speeds at the same time. the code works for a minute then gives me an "int not subscriptable" error.

I've been looking at examples that have caused this error for others but I'm not figuring out why my code is doing it.

So my Arduino is taking almost 200ms processing a total of 128 bytes. The whole process without writing over the serial port is only taking 25ms. Why is my Arduino bottlenecking so much?

setColor is simply setting the color of the ledstrip using the FastLED library.
