Аналоговая RGB-полоска с эффектом затухания и NodeMCU

У меня есть аналоговая или немая RGB-лента, которой я управляю с помощью HTTP-команд. Я хочу иметь возможность заставить ленту плавно переходить от одного цвета к другому при вызове http://XX.XXXXX/fade. Я хочу, чтобы это происходило бесконечно, пока не будет установлен другой цвет или она не включится или не выключится. Я пробовал сделать это с помощью цикла while, но больше не могу изменить состояние света с плавного затухания. Кто-нибудь знает, как это сделать? Я приведу ссылку на свой код ниже.

#define bluPin 14 //D5 - Blue channel

#define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))

WiFiServer server(80); //Set server port

String readString;           //String to hold incoming request
