Crate blinksy_desktop 

Blinksy Desktop Simulation

This crate provides a desktop simulation environment for the Blinksy LED control library. It allows you to visualize LED layouts and patterns in a 3D graphical window, making development and testing possible without physical LED hardware.

Usage

use blinksy::{
    ControlBuilder,
    layout2d,
    layout::{Layout2d, Shape2d, Vec2},
    patterns::rainbow::{Rainbow, RainbowParams}
};
use blinksy_desktop::{driver::Desktop, time::elapsed_in_ms};

// Define your layout
layout2d!(
    PanelLayout,
    [Shape2d::Grid {
        start: Vec2::new(-1., -1.),
        horizontal_end: Vec2::new(1., -1.),
        vertical_end: Vec2::new(-1., 1.),
        horizontal_pixel_count: 16,
        vertical_pixel_count: 16,
        serpentine: true,
    }]
);

// Create the Desktop simulator
Desktop::new_2d::<PanelLayout>().start(|driver| {
    // Create a control using the desktop driver instead of physical hardware
    let mut control = ControlBuilder::new_2d()
        .with_layout::<PanelLayout, { PanelLayout::PIXEL_COUNT }>()
        .with_pattern::<Rainbow>(RainbowParams::default())
        .with_driver(driver)
        .with_frame_buffer_size::<{ PanelLayout::PIXEL_COUNT }>()
        .build();

    // Run your normal animation loop
    loop {
        control.tick(elapsed_in_ms()).unwrap();

        // Sleep on every frame (16 ms per frame ~= 60 frames per second)
        std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(16));
    }
});
