@KoenMartens, why not post this in the app store?
//------------------- Raining Animation Start --------------------------------------------------- var frames_raining = []; var frame_raining = []; var randomNumbers = []; // for every pixel... for (var pixel = 0; pixel < 24; pixel++) { for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++) { randomNumbers[i] = randomPixel(0,23); } if (isInArray(pixel, randomNumbers)) { frame_raining.push({ r: 0, g: 0, b: 255 }); } else { frame_raining.push({ r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 }) } } function randomPixel (low, high) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (high - low + 1) + low); } function isInArray(value, array) { return array.indexOf(value) > -1; } frames_raining.push(frame_raining); var animation_raining = new Animation({ options: { fps : 1, // real frames per second tfps : 12, // target frames per second. this means that every frame will be interpolated 60 times rpm : 24, // rotations per minute }, frames : frames_raining }) animation_raining.register(function(err, result){ Homey.manager('ledring').registerScreensaver('raining', animation_raining) if( err ) return Homey.error(err); animation_green_swirl.on('screensaver_start', function( screensaver_id ){ Homey.log('Screensaver started') }) animation_green_swirl.on('screensaver_stop', function( screensaver_id ){ Homey.log('Screensaver stopped') }) }) //------------------- Rain Animation Stop ---------------------------------------------------
Is there a way to target individual pixels (randomly)?
EDIT: Athom is faster than I imaged. App is approved and submitted in the store.
According to https://developers.athom.com/library/ledring/ it is possible (see bold text), but I never got any updating of a screensaver to work. If any of you have suggestions, go ahead.
If you can update the Frame(s), you can make completely interactive screensavers, and have infinite possibilities (i.e. you can just let the screensaver stand still, and update the pixels 30 times per second to some other values).
Can @Emile help us out?
// If this animation is also a screensaver, we must register it first. // 'weather' is the screensaver name defined in our app.json Homey.manager('ledring').registerScreensaver( 'weather', animation );animation.on('screensaver_start', function( screensaver_id ){
// We can even update the frames when we want. In this case, when the weather has changed.
animation.updateFrames([ ... ]); })
animation.on('screensaver_stop', function( screensaver_id ){
// The screensaver has stopped playing
})
})
Both are unfavourable.
- A veeeerrryyyy slow rainbow animation. So like the original animation, but than really slow.
- A fire effect. Like a candle of fire place
- Some sort of green Matrix effect
Thanks!
The problem I had with a veeerrryyy slow rainbow animation that it is in fact possible (see @DieterKoblenz's remark), but there are only 24 LEDs.
In practice, this means that the rainbow is standing still, then jumps 1/24th of the ring, then stands still again. I didn't like the effect this created at all.
I might look into the other two effects; I would really like a fireplace effect myself.
I am having a flow like this below, but it only sets the solid color for 1-2 seconds or so, that it returns to the "
When Homey is idle..." option in the LED ring setting.
What I would like it that it holds its solid color continuously after the flow has been triggered.
In regards to the question whether or not I can make solid screensavers of a certain colour: Read back in the thread for a better explanation, but shortly: I can't.
