Raspberry Pi Lightshow Creator

This app is developed for use on Raspberry Pi computer.
It uses standard GPIO scheme to control outputs.
Scheme can be found on: http://www.jensd.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/gpio-control-example.png

GPIOs in use:
GPIO0 
GPIO1 
GPIO2 
GPIO3 
GPIO4 
GPIO5 
GPIO6 
GPIO7

Installation process:
 - app requires jdk8 installed on your Raspberry
 - jdk8 installation instructions can be found on: http://java-buddy.blogspot.com/2013/12/install-jdk8-and-run-javafx-on.html
 
 - download rpilc.tar from https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspberrypilightshowcreator/ or using green link above
 - make new directory on your raspberry named for example rpilc, by opening terminal and writing following commands
 mkdir rpilc
 
 - transfer rpilc.tar to your Raspberry Pi in rpilc directory (or maybe you named it somehow different), either using USB stick or free SFTP software http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
 - in terminal navigate to rpilc directory by using
 cd rpilc
 
 - extract rpilc.tar using
 tar -xvf rpilc.tar
 
 - in rpilc folder should appear one directory named lib and .jar file RpiLightshowCreator.jar
 - .jar file needs lib folder, do not move or rename it!
 
 - if jdk8 installation was right, you can test the application by writing following commands in terminal (don't worry if it takes long to run, as long as it doesn't say any error):
 sudo java -jar RpiLightshowCreator.jar
 
 - if you don't like terminal commands you can make a desktop shortcut. In terminal in your home directory navigate to folder named Desktop
 cd Desktop
 
 - then create file named rpilc.desktop by typing
 touch rpilc.desktop
 
 - then edit this empty file by copying following code inside (again, rpilc is my folder name suggestion)
 
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Name=LightshowCreator
 Terminal=false
 Exec=gksu "java -jar /home/pi/rpilc/RpiLightshowCreator.jar"
 

This is pretty much everything you have to know.
If you find any bug or if you're stuck in installation process, you can easily contact me by sourceforge form found on projects page.

Thanks for using Raspberry Pi Lightshow Creator
