Help for controlling LEDs on the tessel board.

Install

  npm install tessel-led --save

Usage


  var led = require('tessel-led');
  
  led.blue.blink(500);
  led.error.flash(5, 250);
  
  var group = new led.Group([led.blue, led.green, led.amber, led.red]);
  
  group
  .serial()
    .led('conn green').flash(10, 100, 50)
    .red().blink(500)
    .index(1).blink()
  .forEach(function(led, idx){
    led.delay(100 * idx).flash(5 + (idx * 2), 300, 150)
  })
  .parallel(200)
    .blue().blink(500)
    .conn().delay(250).blink(500)
  .start();

Features

Automatically resets all LEDs when exiting, like CTRL-C.
Easier access to LEDs. via index, name, color, position
Simple interface for blinking or flashing LEDs
Flow control DSL to help with writing complex LED animations

LEDs

All LEDs on the tessel board are wrapped into a LED instance

You can access any of LEDs multiple ways.

LED (index: 0, name: led1, color: green, position: 3)

  led[0]
  led.led1
  led.green
  led.pos(3)

LED (index: 1, name: led2, color: blue, position: 4)

  led[1]
  led.led2
  led.blue
  led.pos(4)

LED (index: 2, name: error, color: red, position: 1)

  led[2]
  led.error
  led.red
  led.pos(1)

LED (index: 3, name: conn, color: amber, position: 2)

  led[3]
  led.conn
  led.amber
  led.pos(2)

show()

turns the LED on.

  led.blue.show();

hide()

turns the LED off.

  led.led2.hide();

blink(duration, cb)

turns the LED on for specified duration. default = 100. Once complete fires optional callback.

  led.green.blink(500, function(){
    console.log('green LED was on for 500ms but is now off.')
  });

flash(times, duration, delay, cb)

flashes the LED on & off times times. duration is the length the LED is on, default = 100. delay is the length the LED is off, default = 100. Once complete with all times fires optional callback.

  led.error.flash(5, 200, 100, function(){
    console.log('red LED flashed 5 times');
  });

LED.Group

Flow control class to help with chaining complex LED animations.

Usage no npm install needed!
