Fadecandy Example Code
======================
This directory contains sample projects and configuration files for Fadecandy.
* `processing`
* Examples for [Processing 2](http://processing.org/), a popular tool for creative coding
* `html`
* Browser-based examples, written in JavaScript with HTML5
* `node`
* JavaScript examples for Node.js
* `python`
* Some examples written in [Python](http://python.org/)
* `config`
* Sample JSON configuration files for `fcserver`
LED Layouts
-----------
Some examples are written for a specific LED layout or art project, some examples are general-purpose. For examples that use a specific LED layout, we indicate this with a naming convention. For example, if a project "potato" were written for a 48x24 grid, it would be named "grid48x24_potato".
Layout names we use so far:
* grid8x8 - A simple left-to-right top-to-bottom 8x8 pixel grid
* For example, the [AdaFruit NeoMatrix](http://www.adafruit.com/products/1487)
* grid24x8z - Three 8x8 zig-zag grids side by side
* Channel 0 is the center, and may be used alone.
* For example, three of the 8x8 grids from [RGB-123](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/311408456/rgb-123-led-matrices)
More Examples
-------------
There are other places to look for example code too!
* The [Open Pixel Control](https://github.com/zestyping/openpixelcontrol) project
* Everything here will work with Fadecandy, including their [Python examples](https://github.com/zestyping/openpixelcontrol/tree/master/python_clients)
* The [Ardent Mobile Cloud Platform source code](https://github.com/ArdentHeavyIndustries/amcp-rpi)
* The [AMCP](http://scanlime.org/2013/09/the-ardent-mobile-cloud-platform/) is the first art project to use Fadecandy.
* It controls 2500 LEDs with five Fadecandy boards and a Raspberry Pi.
* The software is written in Python, with a C extension to accelerate the LED effects.
* It's controlled over Wi-fi, by a [TouchOSC](http://hexler.net/software/touchosc) remote control.
