class phoenix6.controls.strobe_animation.StrobeAnimation(led_start_index: int, led_end_index: int, slot: int = 0, color: RGBWColor = RGBWColor(), frame_rate: phoenix6.units.hertz = 4)

Animation that strobes the LEDs a specified color.

Parameters:

  • led_start_index (int) – 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.

  • led_end_index (int) – 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.

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

  • color (RGBWColor) – The color to use in the animation.

  • frame_rate (hertz) –

    The frame rate of the animation, from [1, 500] Hz. This determines the speed of the animation.

    A frame is defined as a transition in the state of the LEDs, turning all LEDs on or off.

property name: str

Gets the name of this control request.

Returns:

Name of the control request

Return type:

str

property control_info: dict

Gets information about this control request.

Returns:

Dictonary of control parameter names and corresponding applied values

Return type:

dict

update_freq_hz: phoenix6.units.hertz = 20

The period at which this control will update at. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms).

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.

led_start_index

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.

led_end_index

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.

slot

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

color

The color to use in the animation.

frame_rate

The frame rate of the animation, from [1, 500] Hz. This determines the speed of the animation.

A frame is defined as a transition in the state of the LEDs, turning all LEDs on or off.

  • Units: Hz

with_led_start_index(new_led_start_index: int) → StrobeAnimation
