Glowy Box of Lights

Live coded neopixel, music reacting light box.

glowy-box-of-lights's Issues

Change all colours on all strips:- saturation

Possible structure using RPyC

• Server process runs on the Pi with the lights

  • Process the configuration of lights into a pixel array
  • Has an RPyC service running with exposed methods for each stage of the process and the member variables needed which can be swapped for another one with the same interface
  • Has a RPyC service for registering events as well (so we can test without music)
  • Service also starts at least one client for each processing step
  • Starts event listeners and when event happens calls the process steps

• Client has same repo and one instance is started on server start

  • their is a client config file which specifies the IP and port for the RPyC server
  • Client opens any of the process files and can run / edit it
  • those files use the if __name__ == "__main__": trick to
    • run a unit test that makes sure the outputs produced are of the correct type and ranges (doesn't care about specific expected values, just does it porduce sensible things under most circumstances)
    • connect to the RPyC server
    • register this function as the currently used callback for that part of the process (probably using a stack so when clients stop it drops back towards the defaults)

React to the beat
