Constructor Detail

LightDrive2812

public LightDrive2812()

Construct a LightDrive2812 object and initialize (clear LEDs).

Method Detail

GetVersion

public int GetVersion()

Get the current Library version.

Returns:

An Int indicating library version.

DebugEnable

public void DebugEnable()

Enable internal debugging System.out print statements in library to assist debugging.

DebugDisable

public void DebugDisable()

Disable internal debugging print statements (default state).

ClearLEDs

public void ClearLEDs()

Single function call to clear all LEDs on LightDrive2812.

Update

public void Update()

Update function to send latest changes to LightDrive2812 over CANbus. NOTE: SetRange() and SetRangeandClear() statements are buffered. Update must be called to transmit. Best practice is to call SetRange...() when needed, and Update() as often as practical. Update will update faster than ~65Hz no matter how fast it is called.

SetRange

public void SetRange(java.awt.Color color,
                     int start,
                     int count)

Set count LEDs to color beginning at start.

Parameters:

color - The java.awt.Color object representing the color to set.

start - The first LED that should be set (0-based)

count - The number of LEDs that will be set including start

SetRangeandClear

public void SetRangeandClear(java.awt.Color color,
                             int start,
                             int count,
                             int outOf)

Set count LEDs to color beginning at start. Set remaining LEDs from start+count to BLACK (good for certain effects, such as bar graphs).

Parameters:

color - The java.awt.Color to set

start - First LED to set to color (0-based)

count - Number of LEDs to set to color

outOf - Total number of LEDs in pattern (outOf - count will be set to BLACK)
