AnimatedLEDStrip Server

The server library adds two features to the core library:

  • Command line and config file parsing
  • An HTTP server for clients to communicate with

Usage

Raspberry Pi Server

A 64 bit server implementation for the Raspberry Pi can be installed by running:

curl -s https://animatedledstrip.github.io/install/install-pi-server-64bit.bash | sudo bash

Creating a New Server Executable

The AnimatedLEDStrip server library, a compatibility class and a short main method are needed to create an executable server.

Example class, connecting AnimatedLEDStrip to the rpi-ws281x-java library:

class WS281xCompat(stripInfo: StripInfo) : Ws281xLedStrip(
    stripInfo.numLEDs,
    stripInfo.pin ?: 12,
    800000,
    10,
    255,
    0,
    false,
    LedStripType.WS2811_STRIP_GRB,
    false,
), NativeLEDStrip {

    override val numLEDs: Int = stripInfo.numLEDs

    override fun close() {}

    override fun setPixelColor(pixel: Int, color: Int) =
        setPixel(
            pixel,
            color shr 16 and 0xFF,
            color shr 8 and 0xFF,
            color and 0xFF,
        )
}

Example main method:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    startServer(args, WS281xCompat::class)
}

Replace WS281xCompat::class with the class you create.

See the Raspberry Pi Server for an example server executable.
