Play LED light sequences from csv. Control LED lights using PyDMXControl
Install...
https://github.com/MattIPv4/PyDMXControl/tree/master
Calc fields / Variables:
# seq -> "sequence" = position (seconds) on 'timeline' starting 0
# fadein / fadeout (milliseconds) [optional/default]
# duration (seconds)
# brightness -> 0-255 (optional, else default) [optional/default]
# "channel" --> LED/channel identifier, order as connected to DMX decoder
(channel = name | opendmxcontroller calls fixtures "by_name")
- channels are sequential and fixed
- blank channels also must be added to dmx..()
## Map channels:
(play one at a time, wait for input)
$ python3 mapchannels.py
# run sequence:
- $ python3 sequence.py
# run sequence from START cell (not from t=0):
- $ python3 zztest_sequence.py
## debug:
(play single channel only and exit)
$ python3 playsingle.py <channel/name>
_____
*** EDIT ("seq", "duration", optional "brightness") and play sequence:
- edit local or online calc/csv
# get csv -> sequence.json
- $ python3 getspread.py
- restart service
- OR edit in json, save, restart service
_____
# check script output:
$ tmux a
or
$ tmux a -t light
---
lights.service runs sequence.py in a tmux session called "light"
(Run outside tmux)
# start/stop/restart service now
sudo systemctl <start/stop/restart> lights.service
# enable/disable service on boot
sudo systemctl <enable/disable> lights.service
# check status
systemctl status lights.service
---
*dev* service script:
xetc_systemd_system -> lights.service
edit here if required, and copy to /etc/systemd/system
