mszoernyi / festival-hat

Arduino project for LED hat with different scenes and radio communication with other hats to synchronise light patterns

Festival Hat

Festival Hat is a simple adruino controller for a custom build LED hat.

Getting Started

PlatformIO is used as build path which is available as CLI or IDE integration. In case you have PlatformIO setup already you can skip this step.

1. Install Platform IO
2. (optional) Install VS Code extension platformio.platformio-ide
3. Clone repository with git clone https://github.com/mszoernyi/festival-hat.git
4. Edit platformio.ini and adjust USB port for serial monitoring.
5. Build project with ctrl+alt+b / pio build
6. Upload project to controller with ctrl+alt+u / pio upload

Used component

• FastLED for LED control
• Animately for non-blocking animations
• AceButton for non-blocking button handling

Concepts

Scenes

Scenes are used to describe an animation sequence for LED strips. Take a look into the Strobe for details.

Roadmap / Ideas

• Add multiple scenes to switch between with button
• Add RF logic to commuicate with other hats
• Add Gyro to switch animation based on movements
