LEDserver

Web application to remotely control RGB LEDs via IR signal - for Raspberry Pi - written in Go

➕ ❯

It uses two other go packeges:

• go-rpio - to control gpio pins of Raspberri Pi (from stianeikeland - which I extended by clock and pwm modes)
• go-nec - my small package for basic encoding and transmission of NEC - Infrared transmission protocol

Requirements

• RGB LED strip with 24-button IR remote controller
  • for 44-button controller some tweaks in code are neccesary
  • the remote itself is not actually needed - it will be replaced with pi
• Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2B/3B/ZERO
  • with network connection
  • with golang installed
• 940nm IR LED
• suitable resistor and jumper wires

Installation

Software

• Run:

  go get -u -v github.com/drahoslav7/ledserver
  cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/drahoslav7/ledserver
  sudo ledserver

• Open in your browser:

  http://<ip of your pi>:8080/
  

Hardware

• connect IR LED between BCM pins 19 and 26
  • cathode (-) to pin 19
  • anode (+) to pin 26
  • usage of proper resistor highly recommended
