RainbowAnimation(int, int)

Animation that creates a rainbow throughout all the LEDs.

The index of the first LED this animation controls (inclusive). Indices 0-7 control the onboard LEDs, and 8-399 control an attached LED strip

If the start index is greater than the end index, the direction will be reversed. The direction can also be changed using the Direction parameter. The index of the last LED this animation controls (inclusive). Indices 0-7 control the onboard LEDs, and 8-399 control an attached LED strip.

If the end index is less than the start index, the direction will be reversed. The direction can also be changed using the Direction parameter.
public RainbowAnimation(int LEDStartIndex, int LEDEndIndex)

Parameters

LEDStartIndex int
LEDEndIndex int

Fields

Brightness

The brightness of the animation, as a scalar from 0.0 to 1.0.

public double Brightness

Field Value

double

Direction

The direction of the animation.

public AnimationDirectionValue Direction

Field Value

AnimationDirectionValue

FrameRate

The frame rate of the animation, from [2, 1000] Hz. This determines the speed of the animation.

A frame is defined as a transition in the state of the LEDs, advancing the rainbow by about 3 degrees of hue (out of 360 degrees).
  • Units: Hz
public double FrameRate

Field Value

double

LEDEndIndex

The index of the last LED this animation controls (inclusive). Indices 0-7 control the onboard LEDs, and 8-399 control an attached LED strip.

If the end index is less than the start index, the direction will be reversed. The direction can also be changed using the Direction parameter.
public int LEDEndIndex

Field Value

int

LEDStartIndex

The index of the first LED this animation controls (inclusive). Indices 0-7 control the onboard LEDs, and 8-399 control an attached LED strip

If the start index is greater than the end index, the direction will be reversed. The direction can also be changed using the Direction parameter.
public int LEDStartIndex

Field Value

int

Slot

The slot of this animation, within [0, 7]. Each slot on the CANdle can store and run one animation.

public int Slot

Field Value

int

UpdateFreqHz

The frequency at which this control will update. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms). Some update frequencies are not supported and will be promoted up to the next highest supported frequency.

If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition. In this case, we recommend not exceeding 50 ms between control calls.
public double UpdateFreqHz

Field Value

double

Properties

Name

Name of this control request.

public string Name { get; }

Property Value

string

Methods

Clone()

Creates a copy of this control request.

public RainbowAnimation Clone()

Returns

RainbowAnimation

GetControlInfo()

Gets information about this control request.

public Dictionary<string, string> GetControlInfo()

Returns

Dictionary<string, string>

Dictionary of control parameter names and corresponding applied values

SendRequest(string, uint)

Sends this request out over CAN bus to the device for the device to apply.

public StatusCode SendRequest(string network, uint deviceHash)

Parameters

network string

Network to send request over

deviceHash uint

Device to send request to

Returns

StatusCode

Status of the send operation

ToString()

Provides the string representation of this object.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string

WithBrightness(double)

WithLEDEndIndex(int)

Modifies this Control Request's LEDEndIndex parameter and returns itself for method-chaining and easier to use request API.

The index of the last LED this animation controls (inclusive). Indices 0-7 control the onboard LEDs, and 8-399 control an attached LED strip.

If the end index is less than the start index, the direction will be reversed. The direction can also be changed using the Direction parameter.

WithUpdateFreqHz(double)
