BACKGROUND
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The UDP led device type can be used to send LED data over UDP packets.
|
|
It was originally designed to support an ESP8266 Wifi module based WS2812
|
|
LED strip controller.
|
|
|
|
I've used this to support :
|
|
- A string of 600 LEDs as xmas decorations
|
|
The effects development kit is great for these scenarios
|
|
|
|
- a 61 LED collection of concentric circles
|
|
This has been used as a "night light" and a super lo-res
|
|
TV
|
|
|
|
In each of these cases, the hyperion-remote iOS app is a great way to
|
|
control the effects.
|
|

|
CONFIG
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Simple example for devices that support a raw binary protocol.
|
|
"device" :
|
|
{
|
|
"name" : "MyPi",
|
|
"type" : "udp",
|
|
"output" : "esp201-0.home:2391", "protocol" : 0,
|
|
"rate" : 1000000,
|
|
"colorOrder" : "grb"
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using an ESP8266/Arduino device with a long LED strip, you chould use this alternate protocol.
|
|
The ESP8266/Arduino doesnt support datagram re-assembly so will never see any udp packets greater than 1450.
|
|
"device" :
|
|
{
|
|
"name" : "MyPi",
|
|
"type" : "udp",
|
|
// "output" : "esp201-0.home:2392", "protocol" : 2, "maxpacket" : 1450,
|
|
"rate" : 1000000,
|
|
"colorOrder" : "rgb"
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
PROTOCOL
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Simple UDP packets are sent.
|
|
|
|
Packet Format protocol 0:
|
|
3 bytes per LED as R, G, B
|
|
|
|
Packet Format protocol 2:
|
|
0: update number & 0xf;
|
|
1: fragment of this update
|
|
2: 1st led# of this update - high byte
|
|
3: 1st led# of this update - low byte
|
|
4..n 3 bytes per LED as R, G, B
|
|
