Body

I've only been playing around with ESP32 / wled. for about a week now so please excuse me if none of this makes sense.
I want to create an LED. Sequence which starts from both ends of the strip but when they reach "Each other" the middle the LED's have an explosion effect. is this even possible? I'm sure it is... Could anyone could help me with the API coding or put me in the right direction.

One way to accomplish this would be to use an LED strip controller, such as the Arduino, to control the LEDs. You would then write a program that controls the LEDs so that they light up in a sequence starting from both ends of the strip, and when they reach the middle, the LEDs in the middle would have an "explosion" effect, such as rapidly flashing or changing colors.

You can create this "explosion" effect by using a combination of different functions such as fading, strobing, and color change, that can be achieved by using libraries like FastLED or Neopixel.
