What is Leds

leds is a device to control 1 or more leds (ws2812b) using USB.
You can animate each leds independently, and change the color using hsv colors.

Applications

By default , leds are available at ws://localhost:42001

apps/tasker

Be notified when someone calls you, using tasker and some easy to use JavaScript. You can trigger leds for any events that happens on your phone!

You can also use Power Toggles to make buttons on your notification bar.

Here is a script I use to turn off leds.

Create a task
Import your code using Code/Javascript
Remove auto exit
Delay set to 1 seconds.

ip="192.168.0.140";
port=42001;


bluepulse = "load;255;160;255;143;2;0;0;160;255;116;2;0;0;";
police = "load;255;0;255;255;4;0;1;160;255;255;4;1;70;";
fire = "load;123;32;255;41;2;0;0;32;255;129;2;0;0;";
off = "/off";

leds = new WebSocket("ws://"+ip+":"+port);
leds.onopen = send;

function send(){
	leds.send(off);
}

apps/thunderbird

Be notified when someone sends you an email, using filters and mail alerts plugin.

You can use ws-send to control leds.

"c:\libreconnect\ws-send.exe" -u "ws://localhost:42001" -m "/on"

How to build leds

Arduino

First we need to copy the code on an arduino,

Copy arduino/leds and arduino/library into your arduino sketchbook
Upload leds/leds.ino

Components

Here is the list of components, you will need you can easily find it using these keywords on ebay/aliexpress etc...

led2

RobotDyn Nano V3 (micro-usb): 2€

led5

Arduino nano clone CH340G (mini-usb): 2€

Strip WS2812B

30 leds WS2812B : 4.50€ ( 5 leds :0.75€)
Resistor pack 400pcs (3€) (1 resistor: 0.0071€)
Total : 9.5€ (2.75€)

Wiring

D6 --> RESISTOR (470Ω) DI
+5V --> 5V
GND --> GND

Warning

Do not used more than 5 LEDs without a dedicated power supply or this can damage the LEDs, Each led can draw up to 60ma at full brightness
Arduino can provide up to 500ma (on 5v/Gnd pin)
5 LEDs = 5x60ma = 300ma

3D printing

You will have a more uniform light, if you put the case inside another semi-transparent case.

Models

Commands

Here are the commands available, you can send it using Arduino at baudrate 115200.

Global commands

/info -------> Give name of device (name:port) (leds:42001)
/off --> Turn off all leds
/on --> Turn on all leds
/status --> Display state of all leds as general_brightness;led0;hue;saturation;value;type_animation;arg1;arg2 etc...
/load;[status] --> Load the state of leds/animation specified (warning this won't works with 5 leds as the string is too long for serial buffer)
/save --> Save current state to eeprom
/reset --> Reset state to eeprom state
/sync --> Change all value to 255 (max brightness), this will synchronize blink/pulse animation for all leds
/clear --> Remove settings in eeprom

Load example

 Fire: load;123;32;255;41;2;0;0;32;255;129;2;0;0;

Leds specific commands

color;led;Hue;Saturation;Value ---> Change color for a specific led using hsv
animation;led;type;arg1;arg2 ---> Change animation for a specific led

Color (hue)

Color is hsv have three parameters: hue(color),saturation(more or less white~),value(brightness) The most important value in hsv is the hue which define the color, you can pretty much always use 255;255 for saturation/value (with the exception of the white color which use 0 as saturation).

red = 0
orange = 32
yellow = 64
green = 96
aqua = 128
blue = 160
purple = 192
pink = 224

led0 in red

color;0;0;255;255

Animation

0: No animation
1: Blinking (param1:speed in ms)
2: Pulsing
3: Rainbow mode
4: Alternative Blink (param1:0:master/1:slave, param2:second led/speed in ms)
5: Progressive Change (Change color progressively)

led 0 pulsing

animation;2;0;0

led 1 blinking at 25ms

animation;1;25;0

led 2 rainbow mode (hue change)

animation;3;0;0
