Sparkled is a web-based LED sequencer that aims to reduce the barrier to entry for lighting projects.
With Sparkled, you get an integrated solution containing:
- A rich web interface for staging, sequencing, previewing and scheduling music-backed LED animations
- A fast UDP service to stream rendered pixel data to Sparkled clients, which use the data to drive LED strips (or whatever you want!)
Sparkled clients are responsible for rendered pixel data from the Sparkled server and displaying it on the LED strips. The official Sparkled clients are listed below:
- Move project to Sparkled github account
- Set up official project website
- Rewrite UI in React (In Progress)
- Stage editor, so users can set up their own lighting structures
- Lots of unit & integration testing
- Various bugfixes
- Add more effect and fill types
- Multithreaded rendering
- Support sequences without music (currently requires a mute MP3 file to be uploaded)
- Ability to replace MP3 files for existing sequences (even with different lengths)
- More Sparkled Clients (ESP8266, Arduino Ethernet)
Sparkled is currently in pre-alpha, so significant chunks of core functionality are still missing or incomplete.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.
The following software and hardware requirements must be met before installing the Sparkled server:
- Java SE 8 JDK (8u151 or later recommended)
- Maven 3 (3.5.2 or later recommended)
- A modern web browser (Chrome 60 or later recommended)
- Internet connectivity to download Maven and NPM artifacts
Fork and clone the repository
SSH:
git clone git@github.com:<your_username>/sparkled.git
HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/sparkled.git
Build the project
Note: the initial build will take quite a while, as all of the Maven and NPM dependencies need to be downloaded
cd sparkled
mvn install
Run Sparkled
cd sparkled/app/target
java -jar sparkled.jar
Wait for the application to start, then connect to the UI in Chrome via the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
Use maven to run both the frontend and backend unit tests:
cd sparkled
mvn test
Use npm to run just the frontend unit tests:
cd sparkled/webui
npm run test
