Feature request: UDP protocol support #297

Closed ruddy17 closed 4 years ago

ruddy17 commented 4 years ago

I plan to do a room-scale led setup. Serial over USB is a poor option with my application, as the cable has to be routed accross the whole room. I would like Prismatik to support a device protocol to transmit data to ESP controller wirelessly. I would propose to adopt one (or all) of the protocols from here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/E1.31-&-UDP-Realtime-Control

my 2 cents: a tethered ESP running a serial/adalight-to-UDP/WLED conversion and sending it to another ESP will get you there quicker imo

I forked this repo to do just that. I'm outputting over a UDP socket so that I can run a local Python script to control a Pimoroni Mote without needing a device in the middle. https://github.com/Tom-Archer/Lightpack

Should be fixed since #305 :)
