i have been trying for hours to make a progress bar that goes up with the bed temp, i almost have but just cant get it right and i have tried a 100 different combos i am using led_effect and the have tried them all, i can get the temp to move on the 80 pixel light bar but its just one led that will move as the temp goes up and the rest are either black or flashing depending on the combo i try. i would like just a simple thermometer effect but just cant manager to do it. i have tried the effects heaterhauge, temperaturegauge, and heater from the effects. im sure if i could see how one of these effects are supposed to actually be entered i could change it just fine but as of yet i cant find a singe example of one of these effects in a gcode
 
ok i got an effect i was looking for working, i had to have multiple reds, orange and blues in a row on the color palette since i am using 54 leds it seems at each color palette only controls 7 or 8 leds so adding more makes the whole effects fill correctly as the temp increases here is what worked for me looks great when it fills up
