Backlight Node controller for FadeCandy
This small node application controls your FadeCandy led stripe and continuously check for the current screen dominant color. The main goal is to have a "backlight screen effect", thus representing the main color of the screen with the led stripes.
Install & Run
Use npm install
and a good old
npm start.
In order to install robotjs, required for checking the screen color, you might need to compile it for your platform, instructions are provided in the official robotjs documentation.
Notes on contributions
Given time, I will try to make the script more modular and add more features such as:
- Add new tests
- Optimize the color algorithm - right now it's pretty stupid
- Multiple stripes/controller support
- Mobile client/controller
- Sound based effects from the computer
For any suggestion or contribution do not hesitate to contact me.
