# PixelStream Example
This example demonstrates how to consume the `udp/raw` cluster event and drive a NeoPixel strip or matrix directly from streamed RGB data. Frames are provided as hex encoded byte triplets (`RRGGBB` per pixel).
## Features
- Subscribes to `udp/raw` via `NodeContext::on`.
- Converts incoming frames into pixel colors for strips or matrices.
- Supports serpentine (zig-zag) matrix wiring.
## Payload Format
Each packet is expected to be `RAW:` followed by `pixelCount * 3 * 2` hexadecimal characters. For example, for 8 pixels:
```
RAW:FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000FF0000
```
## Usage
### Strip Mode
Upload the example with `PIXEL_MATRIX_WIDTH` set to 0 (default). Send frames containing `PIXEL_COUNT * 3` bytes as hex.
### Matrix Mode
Set `PIXEL_MATRIX_WIDTH` to the number of columns. The controller remaps even/odd rows to support serpentine wiring.
## Configuration
Adjust `PIXEL_PIN`, `PIXEL_COUNT`, `PIXEL_BRIGHTNESS`, `PIXEL_MATRIX_WIDTH`, `PIXEL_MATRIX_SERPENTINE`, and `PIXEL_TYPE` through build defines or editing `main.cpp`.
