Brightlight is a lighting controller for pixel addressable LED strips, intended for domestic mood lighting.
It has two parts. A low level controller responsible for generating the LED strip waveforms, written in Arduino C using the Teensy 3.x controller.
A website interface to control one or more Teensy boards via USB. This is written in GO and runs on a raspberry Pi or similar.
- Download RASPBIAN STRETCH LITE
- Create a (4G) SD card with etcher
- Create a new file called "ssh" on the SD card's FAT boot partition. This will enable the SSH daemon immediately after the first boot.
- SSH onto pi from Windows or Mac (default password raspberry)
ssh pi@192.168.0.XXX
- On pi set up auto start
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
- On pi in nano add
export BRIGHTLIGHT=/home/pi
/home/pi/brightlight > /dev/null 2>&1 &
- On PC build website and brightlight executable
full-build.bat
- On PC copy executable to pi
scp ./brightlight pi@192.168.0.XXX:/home/pi
- On pi make executable run-able
sudo chmod +x ./brightlight
- On pi create folder
mkdir ui2
- On PC copy ui files to pi
scp -r ./ui pi@192.168.0.XXX:/home/pi
scp -r ./ui2/build pi@192.168.0.XXX:/home/pi/ui2
- Reboot
sudo reboot
- Killing running copies
sudo killall -q -9 brightlight
With ANSI terminal emulator enabled for logrus
