# StripInvaders

A led strip system controlled by your Smartphone or Tablet. Connect StripInvaders to your LAN and enjoy your own
Lightshow!

Features:

* 15 different Light Modes, more will follow
* Stepless adjust the RGB values
* Stepless adjust the animation speed
* Control StripInvaders wireless with your iPhone/iPad/Android Phone/Android Tablet (OSC)
* Bonjour and mDNS support
* DHCP support
* Configure your strip (connected pins, nr. of leds) without reflashing firmware, use OSC to configure

**Website:** http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=396

## Required Hardware:

* Arduino Ethernet
* ws2801 based led strips, I sell some at [my shop](http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=390)
* 5v regulated power supply
* Optional: Seeedstudio [Grove Base Shield](http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-base-shield-p-754.html?cPath=132_134)
* Optional: Seeedstudio [Grove - Universal 4 Pin Cable](http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-universal-4-pin-20cm-cable-5-pcs-pack-p-749.html?cPath=178_179)
* If you want to use the Grove Base Shield, make sure you need 2x 8-pin Header and 2x 6-pin Header, like the [Seeeduino Mega Protoshield Kit](http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-mega-protoshield-kit-p-597.html?cPath=132_134)

## OSC Messages:

Name: Type: Range: Descr:
/knbr float 0..1 R Color Vale
/knbg float 0..1 G Color Vale
/knbb float 0..1 B Color Vale
/delay float 0..1 Delay Value
/audio float 0..1 Enable audio sync (toggle button)
/mode float 0..1 if mode = 1, switch to next effect
/modd float 0..n direct change to effect x
/cfg 4x int first byte must be 66 (magic byte), then DATAPIN, CLKPIN and then LEDCOUNT. this change is
stored in the eeprom. The Arduino will reboot after the update

## Effects:

00: color lines
01: solid color (white)
02: solid color wheel fader
03: solid color random fader
04: color wheel aka rainbow
05: knight rider 1 mover
06: knight rider 4 movers
07: knight rider 8 movers
08: knight rider block
09: xor 1
10: xor 2
11: xor 3
12: xor 4
13: xor 5
14: xor 6

## Network:

DHCP Enabled (and needed!)
MAC: 00:00:AF:FE:BE:01
mDNS: invader.local (ping invader.local)

## TODO:

* More effects (Plasma, Fire, Perlin Noise, FFT)
* Improve Audiosync Maybe using a MSGEQ7 (http://nuewire.com/info-archive/msgeq7-by-j-skoba/)
* Reduce OSC Library size
* Gamma correction
* Use ColorSets

## Misc:
* One Firmware for both drivers (WS2801/LPD8806) is not possible, due size limitation.
* check http://neophob.com/2012/01/stripinvaders-howto-assemble/ for more information how to assemble the LED Strip

## OSC GUI
StripInvaders provide some ready to use OSC GUI's for different OS:

* [OSX/WIN](https://github.com/neophob/StripInvaders/downloads) Application to configure the PixelController
* [PureData](http://puredata.info/) OSC Gui, path: OSCGUI/simple.pd (needed to configure the PixelController)
* [Control](http://charlie-roberts.com/Control/) OSC Gui, Android/iOS, path: OSCGUI/si.js
* [TouchOSC](http://hexler.net/software/touchosc) OSC Gui, iOS, path: OSCGUI/StripInvaders_iPhone.touchosc
* [TouchOSC](http://hexler.net/software/touchosc) OSC Gui, iOS, path: OSCGUI/StripInvaders_iPad.touchosc

### TouchOSC
Get TouchOSC from the Apple App Store. You can use [TouchOSC Editor](http://hexler.net/software/touchosc) or iTunes to copy the iPad or iPhone interface from the `OSCGUI` subdirectory. See http://hexler.net/docs/touchosc-editor for more information.

### Control
Get it from the Google [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.charlieroberts.Control). After starting the application press on the + button on top to add the StripInvaders interface. Enter the URL `https://raw.github.com/neophob/StripInvaders/master/OSCGUI/Android-Control-Phone.js` for a Phone or `https://raw.github.com/neophob/StripInvaders/master/OSCGUI/Android-Control-Tablet.js` for a Tablet, select the StripInvaders from the Destination tab and you're ready to go.

## Development Hints

The main issue is the small ROM on arduino (<32kb) when using all libraries. Tested with Arduino v1.0.1. Do not use Arduino v1.0 as there are some nasty UDP errors (duplicate packages).

### EthernetBonjour
* Also due to similar memory limitations, you can only vend up to 8 services running on your board. If you want to change this limitation, edit "NumMDNSServiceRecords" in EthernetBonjour.h (but note that the WIZnet chipset on the ethernet shield only supports 4 sockets anyway, one already taken up by the Bonjour library, so 8 services might be way too much anyway. Thus, you could also lower this constant to free up some memory).

-> I use only one service: `#define NumMDNSServiceRecords (1)`
