# NeoPattern Service for Spore Framework
This example demonstrates how to integrate a NeoPixel pattern service with the Spore framework. It provides a comprehensive LED strip control system with multiple animation patterns and REST API endpoints.
## Features
- **Multiple Animation Patterns**: Rainbow cycle, theater chase, color wipe, scanner, fade, and fire effects
- **REST API Control**: Full HTTP API for pattern control and configuration
- **Real-time Updates**: Smooth pattern transitions and real-time parameter changes
- **State Management**: Persistent state with JSON serialization
- **Spore Integration**: Built on the Spore framework for networking and task management
## Hardware Requirements
- ESP32 or compatible microcontroller
- NeoPixel LED strip (WS2812B or compatible)
- Appropriate power supply for your LED strip
## Configuration
Edit `config.h` to configure your setup:
```cpp
#define NEOPIXEL_PIN 4 // GPIO pin connected to LED strip
#define NEOPIXEL_LENGTH 8 // Number of LEDs in your strip
#define NEOPIXEL_BRIGHTNESS 100 // Initial brightness (0-255)
#define NEOPIXEL_UPDATE_INTERVAL 100 // Update interval in milliseconds
```
## API Endpoints
### Status Information
- `GET /api/neopattern/status` - Get current status and configuration
- `GET /api/neopattern/patterns` - List available patterns
### Pattern Control
- `POST /api/neopattern` - Control pattern parameters
- `pattern`: Pattern name (none, rainbow_cycle, theater_chase, color_wipe, scanner, fade, fire)
- `color`: Primary color (hex string like "#FF0000" or "0xFF0000")
- `color2`: Secondary color for two-color patterns
- `brightness`: Brightness level (0-255)
- `total_steps`: Number of steps for patterns
- `direction`: Pattern direction (forward, reverse)
- `interval`: Update interval in milliseconds
### State Management
- `POST /api/neopattern/state` - Set complete state via JSON
## Example API Usage
### Set a rainbow cycle pattern
```bash
curl -X POST http://esp32-ip/api/neopattern \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "pattern=rainbow_cycle&interval=50"
```
### Set custom colors for theater chase
```bash
curl -X POST http://esp32-ip/api/neopattern \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "pattern=theater_chase&color=0xFF0000&color2=0x0000FF&brightness=150"
```
### Set complete state via JSON
```bash
curl -X POST http://esp32-ip/api/neopattern/state \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"pattern": 3,
"color": 16711680,
"color2": 255,
"totalSteps": 32,
"brightness": 128
}'
```
## Available Patterns
1. **none** - Static color display
2. **rainbow_cycle** - Smooth rainbow cycling
3. **theater_chase** - Moving dots with two colors
4. **color_wipe** - Progressive color filling
5. **scanner** - Scanning light effect
6. **fade** - Smooth color transition
7. **fire** - Fire simulation effect
## Building and Flashing
1. Install PlatformIO
2. Configure your `platformio.ini` to include the Spore framework
3. Build and upload:
```bash
pio run -t upload
```
## Integration with Spore Framework
This service integrates with the Spore framework by:
- Extending the `Service` base class
- Using `TaskManager` for pattern updates
- Registering REST API endpoints with `ApiServer`
- Following Spore's logging and configuration patterns
The service automatically registers itself with the Spore framework and provides all functionality through the standard Spore API infrastructure.
## Customization
To add new patterns:
1. Add the pattern enum to `NeoPatternService.h`
2. Implement the pattern logic in `NeoPattern.cpp`
3. Add the pattern updater to `registerPatterns()` in `NeoPatternService.cpp`
4. Update the pattern mapping in `nameToPatternMap`
## Troubleshooting
- **LEDs not lighting**: Check wiring and power supply
- **Patterns not updating**: Verify the update interval and task registration
- **API not responding**: Check network configuration and Spore framework setup
- **Memory issues**: Reduce LED count or pattern complexity
## Dependencies
- Spore Framework
- Adafruit NeoPixel library
- ArduinoJson
- ESP32 Arduino Core
