LedStripController

A PlatformIO firmware project providing RGB LED Strip effects via an ASCII protocol over serial interface.

Hardware Requirements

LedStripController should run on most Arduino hardware but has primarily been tested on Teensy 3.2 devices: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html

Build

The following has been tested on Ubuntu Linux but should be adaptable on other Linux distributions. It is also assumed Rust language tools have been installed.

1. Install platformIO Core Note: You can Use the PlatformIO IDE via VSCode but only core is required.

   https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest//core/installation.html

2. Build

   pio run

3. Build & Upload to Teensy

   pio run --target upload

Control via Terminal

Control via the terminal is only feasible is the firmware is built with CRC16 checks disabled. Responses will include CRC16 suffix but will not validate control command CRC's. In order to disable CRC checks set DISABLE_CRC16 1 in ./include/protocol.h
