Trying to install this on raspi stretch but keep getting a compiler error:
checking build system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
checking host system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking Programs... checking for g++... g++
checking whether the C++ compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/pi/LEDSpicer':
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

Any thoughts? I'm a major noob. Don't know anything about programming but if you can suggest how to fix the compiler or install one that will work I'd appreciate it!

I sent you a message

[James Casterline]

How are these light controllers interfaced? What format is the data going out? I would like to make my own controller from an arduino NANO and some neopixels. Is generic serial output a possibility, or can I write a program to fake it?

[MeduZaPaT]

James Casterline , yes you can create a driver I can help you with them is kind or easy.
Can you send me an email so I can send you more details?

[James Casterline]

Thankyou for the fast response. These modules remind me of similar project I've worked on with Christmas Lights. For Arduino's, the packet usually contains some sort of header then the colors in R G B order. To be honest, I'd be more likely to succeed in faking a protocol in the Arduino than writing a driver.

I wrote one for GPIO on RPI was VERY easy, just like:

void RaspberryPi::transfer() {
    for (uint8_t l = 0, t = LEDs.size(); l < t; ++l)
        gpioPWM(l, LEDs[l]);
}

Any Updates on PI and Attract mode?

im interested in the wiki for retropie, particularly the rpi4 on Raspbian
