internetbutton's Introduction

Internet Button

The Internet Button has a lot of features, but some of these aren't as straightforward to use as simple LEDs and sensors. This library abstracts a lot of the complexity and provides simple functions with broad capability. It wraps modified versions of both Adafruit's Neopixel and AnneM's ADXL362 Arduino libraries, as well as some novel functions.

Examples

Blink an LED - How to control the smart LEDs on this board
Blink all the LEDs - An extension on the simplest case
LEDs and Buttons - How to read the buttons on the Button, and make LEDs blink with them
Good Combination - A set of button and LED conditionals that I happen to like and use frequently
Motion - The Internet Button also has an accelerometer on it to measure motion- this shows how the related functions work
Orientation - How to use the accelerometer functions to determine the orientation
Internet - Send that data out to the world!
Making Music - Learn how to play notes and songs while controlling LEDs and reading buttons at the same time.
Release Firmware - Big, complicated set of epic.

Watch for gauge and other display additions to this library!

internetbutton's Issues

cannot convert 'String' to 'const char' for argument '1' to 'int atoi(const char)'

Veryfing code using this library in Particle Build fails with this error:

InternetButton/InternetButton.cpp:235:42: error: cannot convert 'String' to 'const char*' for argument '1' to 'int atoi(const char*)'
         octave = atoi(note.substring(1,2))

Looks like a syntax error...   "did anyone bother to test this"?

add support for .updateLength() function

support the 12th LED if a user decides to solder it on
support an additional pixel strip soldered to the output from the last pixel (daisy chaining), essentially any number of extra LEDs.

redefinition of 'class ADXL362'

Veryfing code using this library in Particle Build fails with this error:

InternetButton/InternetButton.h:141:7: error: redefinition of 'class ADXL362'

Debug Serial for ADXL362

Need a way to control the debug messages.

I see the macro ADXL362_DEBUG but to change that requires a re-compile.

Error retrieving device id

pull request to be submitted to fix.

Is the INT1 or INT2 from the accelerometer hooked up to Photon "int" or WKP pin for free fall detection?

The "int" designation on the silk screen isn't described in any documentation. This library is using it either, so I am wondering if any of the interrupts from the ADXL362 are hooked up to this pin or not. Can we do Free Fall detection?

Onboard user LED is always on

When using this library, I can't find a way to shut down the tiny onboard blue LED (not the pulsing status LED, I've got that one turned off no problem) without breaking the functionality of the buttons. Am I missing something, or is it just not possible?

Conflicts with multiple Neopixel strips

If you try to use a neopixel strip on another pin the library silently takes over. You can't import the original neopixel library due to errors.

Working on a fix.

Error state

Firmware 1.4.4 whenever I use b.begin() the particle photon device goes into a green WiFi searching and then resets. It is fixed if I don't use the internet button library.

Calling InternetButton readX16() before init crashes Photon

You might say this is obvious, don't call the accel functions before init.. I think you should build in some methods to prevent crashes and notify the user etc.. Took a long time to find this issue because I was calling readX16() as part of some initialization code in a static object, constructed before setup, where init was called. Really this is my fault but I mention it here so you might help others in the future.
