Led strip

@todo: demo image

The led-strip module will color your led-strip with the global status color of the CIMonitor.

• When there is an error status, the led-strip wil pulse red
• When there is a warning status, the led-strip will pulse orange
• When there are no errors or warnings, the led-strip will be green (but dimmed)
• When a new success status is pushed, the led-strip will be bright green for 5 minutes

Requirements

In order to use this module, the following requirements must be present:

Raspberry-pi

You need to run either the server or module-client on a raspberry pi. Configure this module for the application running on the raspberry-pi.

pi-blaster

To control the amount of color that needs to be sent to the led-strip, CIMonitor requires you to have pi-blaster installed. Check the pi-blaster repository and make sure it is installed on your Raspberry pi.

Configuration

To enable this module, add the module to the config/config.json:

{
    "modules": [
        {
            "name": "LedStrip",
            "config": {
                "gpioPinRed": 10,
                "gpioPinGreen": 11,
                "gpioPinBlue": 12
            }
        }
    ]
}

The config object must be configured as following:

key	required?	description
gpioPinRed	yes	The GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi for the red color.
gpioPinGreen	yes	The GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi for the green color.
gpioPinBlue	yes	The GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi for the blue color.

Restart the application to enable the module.
