#Piggy's LED Playground

A simple web integrated suite of apps that allow a WS2812 strip to be controlled. ##Features

• REST API (useful for IFTTT etc)
• Responsive web app
• Multiple Animations with different options
• Token protection

##Animations

• All animations in Loop-Mode or fixed number of cycles
• KnightRider:
  • Video
  • Options: Length of trail (for fadeout), Speed, Cycles, Color
• ColorWipe:
  • Video
  • Options: Speed, Cycles
• RainbowFade:
  • Video
  • Options: Speed, Cycles, Brightness
• RainbowPattern:
  • Video
  • Options: Speed, Cycles, Density (Number of Rainbows per strip), Brightness
• SparkleColors:
  • Video
  • Options: Density, Speed, Cycles, Color or Random Colors

##ToDo / Possibilities

• Optimize Code of Spark Core. Enough places for better memory usage, faster animation calculations
• Make API smarter (e.g. Log all animations to database for 'most used animations settings' or stats for each caller by different tokens)
• More animations:
  • MorseCode, input a text and show a ticker with Morse code
  • HeartBeat/Breath, animate a single color by brightness to look like heartbeating or breathing
  • ColorFade, fade between multiple colors (instead through the complete rainbow)
• Integrate services (e.g. with IFTTT or other APIs), "new mail, cyan Knightrider", "facebook notification, blue blinking", etc
• Combine with an alarmclock for visual alarm

##Requirements

• Spark Core (Spark Photon not tested)
• WS2812B LED Strip (other Adafruit NeoPixel-Compatible LEDs might work)
• Web server with PHP >= 5.3.0

##Configurations / Installation

• Spark Core:
  • Pin, LED Count, LED Type
• PHP:
  • Spark Device ID and Spark Access Token (inside function sendPost())
  • Token for API (inside function setDefaultConditions())

##Acknowledgement / Used Libraries

• Adafruit NeoPixel Library
• SparkCore-NeoPixel
• Slim Framework
• Bootstrap
• bootstrap-colorselector
• bootstrap-slider
• bootstrap-toggle
