musiclights's Issues

Signal transportation

In the future, allow signals to be communicated in three ways:

1. Transport audio stream or realtime signals from audio stream (high bandwidth and high processing)
2. Transport description of signals to be translated into visualizations (low bandwidth, moderate processing)
3. Transport visualizations (high bandwidth, low processing)

Design method of distributed computing

In the future, MusicLights should be able to process stateless signals for audio on any connected node.

• This feature should allow any devices with unused processing power to absorb some compute load
• Should take into account bandwidth between nodes
• Allow throttling on certain nodes

Write DotStar library using Pi4J

Use Adafruit's C library for Python as a guide

• Take a look at the MusicLightsPython repo

Websockets api

Implement a basic websockets api to allow different MusicLights to run as a distributed service across multiple devices

Port Python ttk interface

Port existing Python ttk interface to Java swing interface
