Colors

All colors are specified in an RGB array in this format:

[255, 255, 255]

Time

Board

at board.at(index)

can be index or x y

row board.row(index)

var pixels = board.row(0);

column board.column(index)

var pixels = board.column(0);

all board.all()

var pixels = board.all();

clear board.clear()

on

off

trigger

Pixels

each

add

var pixels = board.select(0, 6);
pixels.add(board.select(7, 9));

filter

var pixels = board.select(0, 6);
pixels.filter(function(pixel, i) {
  return i % 2 === 0;
});

eq

toArray

first

first in set (not in board)

last

last in set (not in board)

has

next pixels.next({wrap: true})

previous pixels.previous({wrap: true})

above *pixels.above({wrap: true})

below *pixels.below({wrap: true})

left *pixels.left({wrap: true})

right *pixels.right({wrap: true})

set pixels.set([r, g, b])

fade pixels.fade([from,] to, duration, callback)

from is an optional

after pixels.after(timeout, callback)

Accepts arguments in any order.

var pixel = board.select(0);
function walk() {
  pixel.on().after(100, function() {
    pixel.off();
    pixel = pixel.next();
    walk();
  });
}
walk();



board.all().on();

var pixel = board.select(0);
function walk() {
  pixel.fade([255, 255, 255], [128, 128, 128], 0.5, )

  pixel.on().after(100, function() {
    pixel.off();
    pixel = pixel.next({wrap: true});
    walk();
  });
}
walk();

off

Pixel

An individual pixel can be accessed via the array index either through the board object, or a `pixels object:

var pixel = board[0];
var pixels = board.select(0)

Examples

Walk

function walk(pixel) {
  if (pixel.length) {
    pixel.fade('white', 'teal', 250, function() {
      pixel.fade('teal','black', 250);
      walk(pixel.next());
    });
  }
}
var p = board.at(0, 0);
walk(p);

Blink

function blink(pixel) {
  pixel.fade([255, 255, 255], [255, 0, 0], 250, function() {
    pixel.fade([255, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0], 250, function() {
  
    });
  });
}

setInterval(function() {
  blink(board.random());
}, 25);

Star

function streak(pixel) {
  function fade(pixel, callback) {
    pixel.fade([128, 128, 128], 'black', 250);
    setTimeout(callback, 50);
  }

  pixel.fade('white', 'black', 1000);

  ['below','above','left','right'].forEach(function(direction) {
    function walk(pixel) {
      var next = pixel[direction]({wrap: false});
      if (next.length) {
        fade(next, function() {
          walk(next);
        })
      }
    }
    walk(pixel);
  });
}

setInterval(function() {
  streak(board.random());
}, 250);

Gradient Fade

function rainbowWalk(pixel) {
  pixel.fade('blue', 'red', 2000);
  setTimeout(function() {
    var p = pixel.next();
    if (p.length) {
      rainbowWalk(p);
    }
  }, 2000 / 64);
}
rainbowWalk(board.at(0));

Rainbow

function rainbowWalk(pixel) {
  pixel.rainbow(10000);
  setTimeout(function() {
    var p = pixel.next();
    if (p.length) {
      rainbowWalk(p);
    }
  }, 10000 / 64);
}
rainbowWalk(board.at(0));
