RainbowDashboard
RainbowDashboard is a third-party firmware for the Rainbowduino by Seeed Studio. Among its features:
- Clean, maintainable code base.
- Compatible with standard firmware from Rainbowduino 2.0.
- Supports UART mode (no Arduino host needed - talk to Rainbowduino directly).
- Works with both Rainbowduino 2.0 and Rainbowduino 3.0.
- Double-buffered graphics operations.
- Software real-time clock.
- Animation driven by the Rainbowduino itself.
- Full Windows ANSI (CP1252) character set. (Technically Kreative SuperLatin, a superset.)
- High-level command set.
RainbowDashboard operates similarly to CommandMode, but supports five types of commands instead of just one.
Short commands have the same format as standard command mode:
| Byte | Description |
|---|---|
52 |
the header, an ASCII 'R' |
cc |
the command number |
sr |
the column number; the red channel |
gb |
the green channel; the blue channel |
ii |
the image number, ASCII value, or row number |
Long commands have the following format:
| Byte | Description |
|---|---|
72 |
the header, an ASCII 'r' |
cc |
the command number |
xx |
the column number |
yy |
the row number (typically) |
zz |
the picture number, ASCII value, or control channel (typically) |
rr |
the red channel (typically) |
gg |
the green channel (typically) |
bb |
the blue channel (typically) |
Short direct-mode commands have the format of an ASCII uppercase 'D' followed by 96 bytes of raw Rainbowduino buffer data in the format used by the Rainbowduino 2.0 version of DirectMode (in the DirectMode directory).
Medium direct-mode commands have the format of an ASCII digit '3' followed by 192 bytes of raw Rainbowduino buffer data in the format used by the Rainbowduino 3.0 version of DirectMode (in the DirectMode3 directory).
Long direct-mode commands have the format of an ASCII lowercase 'd' followed by 256 bytes of raw RainbowDashboard buffer data. The data is organized channel-by-channel in control, red, green, blue order; row-by-row; then column-by-column, with one byte per one column.
