Crate contourwall_core
source ·Expand description
This library provides an interface for controlling the tiles using the ContourWall protocol over serial communication with an ESP32 device mounted on each tile of the ContourWall.
The ContourWallCore struct represents the core functionality, allowing you to initialize a connection to a COM port, send commands to update LED colors, retrieve tile identifiers, and more.
For more details on available commands and usage, refer to the individual function documentation.
§Example Usage
To utilize this library, ensure you have the necessary serial port permissions and ESP32 firmware flashed with the ContourWall protocol support.
§Full Contour Wall mode (6 tiles)
use std::ffi::CString;
use contourwall_core::*;
fn main() {
let baud_rate = 2_000_000;
let mut cw = new(baud_rate);
solid_color(&mut cw, 255, 0, 255); // Sets all LEDs to purple
show(&mut cw); // Shows the changes on the LED tiles
}
§Single tile mode
use std::ffi::CString;
use contourwall_core::*;
fn main() {
let com_port = CString::new("/dev/ttyUSB3").expect("CString conversion failed").into_raw();
let baud_rate = 2_000_000;
let mut cw = single_new_with_port(com_port, baud_rate);
solid_color(&mut cw, 255, 0, 255); // Sets all LEDs to purple
show(&mut cw); // Shows the changes on the LED tiles
}
§Compatibility
This library is compatible with both Windows and Linux systems, It has been tested on Windows devices and a Raspberry Pi 5. MacOS is untested, however it should work.
§Errors
Errors encountered during serial communication or protocol execution are indicated through StatusCode values returned by the library functions.
§Safety
This library uses unsafe Rust code to interface with C-style pointers and raw bytes for serial communication. Extra care should be taken to ensure proper usage to avoid memory unsafety and undefined behavior.
§Protocol Documentation
This library assumes adherence to the ContourWall protocol. Please refer to the protocol documentation for more information on commands and their expected behavior.
§License
This library is distributed under the terms of the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for details.
Modules§
- StatusCodes abstraction, status codes are used to communicate state between tile and library.
- Tile struct and implementation. This struct implements the protocol to communicate with individual tiles.
- Utiliy functions for the ContourWall Core libary.
Structs§
- ContourWallCore class encapsulates the list of connected tiles.
Functions§
- Configures the amount of threads for the Rayon threadpool.
- Transfers ownership of the ContourWallCore object back to Rust and frees the memory. Also closes the serial connections
- Initializes the full ContourWall, all the configuration and orchistration happens automatically.
- Initializes the full ContourWall, based on manualy input of COM ports.
- Executes the
command_0_show
on each tile to show their current framebuffer - Initializes the ContourWall as a single tile
- Executes the
command_1_solid_color
on each tile. - Executes the
command_2_update_all
on each tile.
