I'd like to see how this works on larger LED strips #17

I've added a few animations as well as made some changes to the code to be more consistent. I figured I would submit a PR if you were interested in any of the changes. There is also a client/server included that i've been playing with that will process audio on a host and push a representation to the raspberry pi for display on the LED strip. I may have gotten carried away with the consistency changes, so feel free to drop this PR if I did.

longjos - Thanks for the PR. It looks like some great stuff. I am, however, in the process of reworking this entire library, which pretty much broke all backwards compatibility with old code. I will likely just retire this repo and post the updated library at a new one.

I will, however, see if I can manually merge this into the new one. I'm really interested in your audio visualizer. Will let you know when I make the new library live.

Thanks!

Hi Adam,

I am purchasing a RPi for my son to have him practice on his Python and C++(?). We are planning to build a Rotating POV Cylinder (or globe?) display using perhaps LDP8806 RGB LED strips. We hope to be able to display images, scrolling text, or even animation. We found similar POVs using the Rpi in the net.

Would appreciate if you would be able to provide some inputs considering that it will be the first time we would be making use of the RPi. We were initially considering the Arduino. AttachedBelow is an image that my son initially prepared. I will mostly doing the mechanical part while he would handle the elctronic and coding aspect.

Thanks and regards,

JB,

Sounds like a fun project. I'm happy to help out. But, could you email me directly using email [at] adamhaile [dot] net ? I'd like to keep this conversation off of the issues list.

Thanks,

Adam

Keep a blog or something JPLopez and let us know where it is as I'd follow with interest.
