Illumination-Cat

This is the brain of the the almighty Illumination Cat.

API

Two API architectures are supported: WebSocket and REST. Both can be used with the same set of fields.
Everything is propagated to the mesh network automatically.

Fields:

Field	Type	Description
topic	String	Name of the topic where the data is dispatched
payload	Integer/String	Data

WebSocket

Endpoint: /pixel
Send a JSON String containing the mandatory fields.

Example:

{
    "topic": "pixels/color",
    "payload": 13505813
}

Topics

All functionality can be used by sending messages to these topics.

topic	type	payload
pixels/colorWheel	Integer	Value from 0 to 255 to cycle through all colors
pixels/color	Integer	RGB color as integer. By calling this topic, all LEDs of the strip are set synchronously, stopping current running animation.
pixels/color2	Integer	RGB color as integer. Sets the second color used in animations. Does not stop current running animation.
pixels/pattern	Integer	Value from 0 to 5 to set the current animation. Available animations: { NONE = 0, RAINBOW_CYCLE = 1, THEATER_CHASE = 2, COLOR_WIPE = 3, SCANNER = 4, FADE = 5 }
pixels/totalSteps	Integer	Number of steps of an animation.
pixels/brightness	Integer	Integer from 0 to 255 to set the overall brightness of the strip by bitshifting the current colors in memory. Use with caution as running the LEDs on full brightness requires a lot of power.

REST

Endpoints

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST /pixel/api
