Thanks!

I have some ideas for the project. I would indeed like more effects. Especially for an led strip because I have quite a few already for an led panel. Maybe something that the user could make their own effects. I would also like to support more led types. But for that I would need to get my hands on to some different types of led's.

I hope you will like the project if you try it out :)

Hey everyone,

I just want to share my project hoping someone can make good use out of it.

I always wanted an easy way to control an led-strip or led-panel with a raspberry pi, but coudn't really find an easy way with the features i wanted. Thats why i created LED-Engine!

With LED-Engine you can control an led-strip or led-panel with your phone or computer by simply entering the pi's ip address into a browser, so no need to install an app! Led-Engine is also really easy to install with only 2 command lines in a shell!

It has plenty of features, please take in mind that it is still in developement so more will be added later:

- Static Color (Led-panel) (Led-strip)

- Rainbow mode (Led-panel) (Led-strip)

- Conway's Game of Life (Led-panel)

- Langton's Ant (Led-panel)

- Brian's Brain (Led-panel)

- WireWorld (Led-panel)

- Drawing canvas (Led-panel)

- Display images (from image url or upload) (Led-panel)

- Display gif (from gif url) (Led-panel)

The zero player games and Display gif are my personal favorite (more info about the modes on the github page).

I really hope you will check out my project. I am still learning to code (3rd year into game developement) so not everything will be perfect. If you find any issues please report them on the github page. If you would like to contribute code then that would be amazing! I am always interested in learning :)
