function hueToRGB |
Colour change of the LEDs is somewhat abrupt, due to (IMO) an error in the conversion function.
segmentOffset = scaledHue - (segment * 256) always yields 0 because segment is defined as scaledHue / 256
Replacing it by segmentOffset = scaledHue % 256 gives a much smoother color change.

The sketches in section 12.6 ("Using a Real-Time Clock") make use of the "DS1307RTC" library. However, this library does not appear to be distributed with the current (1.0.1) Arduino IDE. I did, however, find a version of this library (ie, .h and .cpp files, dated 6 Mar 2010) in the Google code repository and tried installing this locally. However, compiling against this library throws up a whole raft of errors, suggesting some incompatibility with the current suite of libraries.
