I know - super simple, but wanted to do something while I wait for some hardware to come in for more projects.
Anyway, here’s a little bit of background. I’m an AMX programmer by day and tinkerer by night, so I thought these two products were a match made in heaven. Essentially, I put a color selector on a “touch panel” (actually, an iPad) that sets an invisible button’s color and then sends the hex color value to the imp server, parsed and then sets the LED on the Hannah.
Again, nothing fancy, but integrating the imp with a high end control system like AMX is my primary focus.
Excuse the music, but it’s much better than the original audio - dog drinking water, wife dropping things & a feminine product commercial on the television.
Very nice. I’m a newbie to color. I have a few questions. Are you using RGB code or HUE to control the color? What about brightness? Any recommendation for RGB LED driver?
The AMX processor returns the color in triplet hex, so FFFFFFFF for white, 000000FF for black. The last value is the opacity. I was going to tie the brightness to the potentiometer on the Hannah, but put that on the back burner. The parsing from HEX to RGB is a little rough, but hey, many ways to skin a cat!
I’m completely new to squirrel & scripting in general, so pardon my learning process.
Sorry for a silly question. I just got my imp today and commisioned it with an Adafuit april board.
Can I control the Imp’s LED? I’m making a temp control project and I want the LED to be red for heating, green for in range, and blue for cooling. I would prefer to not having to add another LED to the BOM.
