Inspiration

• Based on ESP8266 Fastled Webserver by Jason Coon: https://github.com/jasoncoon/esp8266-fastled-webserver
• Based on ColorTwinkles by Mark Kriegsman: https://gist.github.com/kriegsman/5408ecd397744ba0393e
• Based on TwinkleFOX by Mark Kriegsman: https://gist.github.com/kriegsman/756ea6dcae8e30845b5a
• Based on DemoReel100 by FastLED: https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/examples/DemoReel100/DemoReel100.ino

Dependencies

• Boards
  • ESP32 1.0.6 https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32
• Libraries
  • FastLED 3.4.0 https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED
  • Websockets 2.3.5 https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets
  • Wifi Manager 2.0.3-alpha https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager
• Tools
  • SPIFFS uploader 1.0: https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin/releases/

Notes

• For local HTML/JS development, you can start a webserver on the data directory (i.e. python3 -m http.server) and create a remote.json file with these contents: {"ip":"192.168.30.15"}

How to build a new pattern

• Add PatternXXX.h
  • Implement void fXXX()
  • Implement String setXXXDelay(String value) and String getXXXDelay()
• Add definition on Fields.h
• Add function in PatternDefinition.h
• Add include in HexaLigths.ino

To Do

• HTML
  • Handle delaypostvalue
  • Fix Hue to ColorSlider
  • Implement websockets and emit
  • Fix SolidColor
• EEPROM
  • Provide clean mechanism (delete Magic value)
  • Add pattern specific variables
  • Reenable
  • Add more variables
• Wifi
  • Test first connection (Does MDNS work?)
  • Update HTML files OTA
  • Update firmware OTA
  • Provide credentials cleanup mechanism
  • MDNS
• Patterns
  • FRAMES_PER_SECOND
  • rainbow all around edge
  • Add independent palette to different patterns
  • More pattern (twinkle fox, pride)
  • Autoplay
• Rearchitect for component isolation (each pattern in a self contasined class, no dependencies between storage, wifi, fields, etc)
• Better REST Logging
• Remove SolidColor endpoint
• Fix ColorFieldType
• palettes and palettesNames in same structure
• Fix Purple and Green
• Per pattern variables
• Unify gHostNameString and gHostNameChar
• Turn off red led (hardwired)
• Add bounds check on SetPattern and SetPalette
