Extract full cube state from Bluetooth data

Question

Extract full cube state from Bluetooth data

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 13 comments

Thanks for writing this package! Really fun to extract the moves from the browser.

Do you know how to extract the full state from the bluetooth data package as well?

Answer 1 · 2018-08-24T21:33:09.000Z

I worked on the full cube state in my fork here: https://github.com/Scarygami/giiker
Still need to add some documentation though.

@hakatashi
I can send a pull request, but since I did some major changes, I wanted to check with you first if you are okay with those changes, or if I should rather publish my version under a different name.
Probably the biggest change (since it fits my way of working) is not to depend on babel (or other packages), publishing the library as "pure" es module, thus leaving the preferred build step to the user of the library.

Nice! Will check out your fork @Scarygami

Answer 3 · 2018-08-25T18:24:15.000Z

Thanks for sharing, @Scarygami. I just started a project to do exactly this. Glad I checked the issues on this project before diving too deep. I think I'm going to build on your work and attempt to create a function that returns a cubejs instance that mirrors the cube.

Alright. It's not pretty but here it is:

const FaceletMap = {
  white: "U",
  red: "L",
  blue: "F",
  orange: "R",
  green: "B",
  yellow: "D"
};
const state = giiker.state;
const cubeString =
"" +
// up

const cube = Cube.fromString(cubeString);

I've noticed a small error in the above code. Fixing now...

Answer 6 · 2018-08-25T21:10:39.000Z

Just realized that the biiker.on('move', ()=>{}) listener views the green side as "F" - I wrote this with blue being "F".

Answer 7 · 2018-08-25T22:14:00.000Z

With proper orientation, it should be:

const FaceletMap = {
  white: "U",
  red: "R",
  blue: "B",
  orange: "L",
  green: "F",
  yellow: "D"
};
const state = giiker.state;
const cubeString =
"" +
// up: 0
FaceletMap[state.corners[6].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[10].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[5].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[6].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap["white"] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[5].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[2].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[2].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[1].colors[1]] +
// right: 9
FaceletMap[state.corners[1].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[5].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[5].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[1].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap["red"] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[9].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[0].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[4].colors[1]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[4].colors[0]] +
// front: 18

FaceletMap[state.edges[2].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap[state.corners[1].colors[2]] +
FaceletMap[state.edges[3].colors[0]] +
FaceletMap["green"] +

@timhuff thanks for doing the mapping, I've updated my fork with a new property stateString that will return the state in this cubejs compatible format.

PS. here's what I've been working on using this library :)

Answer 10 · 2018-08-27T02:20:52.000Z

Sorry I'm late to the party.

@Scarygami Your code is pretty cool! Though I don't prefer exposing ES6+ codes without transpiling, I think it's acceptable here because giiker is intended to run on browser, not node.

Please send PR. I'll immediately merge it. 😀

Answer 11 · 2018-08-27T02:32:12.000Z

I also want to invite you to collaborator of GitHub and npm once merged. Is it ok? @Scarygami

Answer 12 · 2018-08-27T15:57:52.000Z

Sure, you can add me as collaborator, thanks :)

I have some more things I want to add to this library to make it feature-complete. I will send those as PR, once I'm done.

Answer 13 · 2019-04-11T12:13:36.000Z

I would also like to know how to get the full state (colors on each side) from the Bluetooth characteristic response... for example the solved cube gives me this:
12 34 56 78 33 33 33 33 12 34 56 78 9a bc 00 00 33 31 23 23

What does this value mean exactly? any help would be appreciated! :-) Thanks!!
