Raspi W2812

Controller App for Raspi W2812 Light

A quite simple android app for controlling the Raspi W2812 Light (https://blog.kubovy.eu/2018/02/11/status-light-with-raspberry-pi-zero-and-w2812-led-strip/)

THIS APP NEEDS A CUSTOM BUILD LIGHT TO WORK. PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG POST BEFORE RATING THE APP DOWN.

In the beginning it shows you the list of paired devices where you need to pick the one representing the Raspi W2812 Light. Note that you need to pair your phone with the light before you can use this app.

The app stores a list of light configurations as described in Raspi W2812 Light post additionally with a “set name” as free text. The light configurations are grouped by those sets. We can run a whole set or just one configuration.

There are three tabs on the bottom. The first is showing the list of “sets”. In this tab if we press on the “send” button next to a set the whole set will be sent to the light. If we press somewhere else on the set item we will be navigated to the “list” tab where the list of the light configurations will be shown.

In the “list” tab pressing on the floating action button on the bottom right will send the whole set to the light. Pressing on the “send” button next to a light configuration will send only this one configuration to the light. Pressing somewhere else on the light configuration will navigate us to the “light” tab where the light configuration details will be shown.

In the “light” tab we can change the colors and other parameters of the light configuration and also the set on the top. By pressing the floating action button on the bottom right the configuration will be sent to the light. If we want to save our configuration for later we need to press the “save” button in the action menu.
