Actinic Build Status

Actinic interfaces with strands of LED lights to control them in various flashy or useful ways according to music, time of day, and multiple types of animations. Currently supports an Arduino-based LED controller firmware, but support can be easily added for other systems.

Downloads

More details at the nightly.link page, by oprypin. Or, if you are logged in to GitHub, pick any build from the GitHub Actions tab.

Building

Tools needed:

  • MonoDevelop (preferably 4.0 or higher)
  • Mono runtime, including System.Drawing and System.Core
  • Development headers for FFTW library version 3 and PulseAudio
  • Make, a C++ compiler, and friends

For an Ubuntu system, apt-get install the following packages

libmono-system-core4.0-ci		# Mono runtime, System.Linq interface
libmono-system-drawing4.0-ci	# Bitmap parsing
make libpulse-dev libfftw3-dev	# Tools to compile Impulse audio processing library

The project will automatically attempt to build the Impulse library upon compiling the solution in MonoDevelop. Should anything go wrong, a file named README-impulse-failed-to-build will be put in the bin/Debug build directory.

To manually compile, run prepare-audio-processing.sh included in the Actinic/Audio folder.

If using the Arduino LED controller, don't forget to change permissions on the USB device to allow access without root.

Usage

  • Connect and power on your lighting controller and lights (for the Arduino LED controller, plug it into power, then into a USB port)
  • In the output directory, run mono Actinic.exe
  • To be done - expand this list?

To list commands, type help. For help on a particular command, type it without providing any parameters, e.g. vu run.
