Runlight Files

Controller for NeoPixel WS2812B LED strips for all that like a bit more than the standard controllers available.

It is known that such controllers are abailable for a few USD/EUR/CHF. These support remote controls via infra red or bluetooth for a mooth light, disco and more with many gimmicks that nobody needs.
But if one likes a fancy light organ, a firework, a runlight for the christmas tree or a colorful nightlight, here is the solution.

This controller runs on a RP2040 AKA Raspberry Pi Pico. To keep effort reasonable, there is no bluetooth or wifi. But a infrared remote was desired. You may control it with your mobile phone if it includes an IR blaster. Alternatively there are IR blaster adaptors for mobiles. It works together with the App "Ocrustar" as an example.

More documentation like how to use it or how to build the hardware in the style of a doit yourself enthusiast are found on the developpers home page (https://ludescher.ch/runlight).

The software package includes all necessary files to compile it using Visual Studio Code on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 as suggested by the Raspberry Pi Pico documentation.

The file CMakeLists.txt points to a directory (mylib) with own developped generic function modules that are included in the package.
