Roadmap PixelController

Version 2.1

  • PixelInvaders firmware: support Teensy 3
  • PixelInvaders firmware: Support ambient color for the output panel(s)
  • Support Multiple Output devices with different matrix sizes
  • Random-Mode with selectable time-life
  • TouchOSC GUI

Backlog

Features

  • Create an API for the core
  • Switch to logback
  • Particle generator (rain,snow,fireworks...) remember: maybe rip from cocos2d particle system, should replace fire and metaballs
  • Option to invert GUI colors
  • More GUI improvements (scaling, bigger fonts, save window position, option to bring both windows to front)
  • Option to modify colorsets of all visuals
  • Add Perlin Noise generator
  • add more fader (pixel fader for example)
  • support more than 2 rows
  • Option to save output of PixelController (byte stream) to a flat file (Offline usage)
  • Option to use system audio as input source, currently its only mic input.
  • Syphon support https://code.google.com/p/syphon-implementations/
  • OLA (http://www.opendmx.net/index.php/Open_Lighting_Architecture) input plugin see https://github.com/neophob/ola-to-tpm2net
  • Game of life generator
  • Option to load a 24bpp image in pass through mode
  • new textscroller that displays only a character per time
  • Use google-guice as DI container
  • option to configure strange mappings easy, use a gui? html5 frontend?
  • GUI: Sort generator, effect and mixer dropdown lists by name, needs an update in the gui logic
  • More layouts (Half/Half, 3/1...). Current layouts are hardware dependent. New layout shouldn't be.
    +---+---+---+
    | a | b | c |
    +---+---+---+   
    | d | e | f |
    +---+---+---+   
     Example: 3/1 Layout defines 2 virtual panels, panel 1 using physical panel a,b,d,e panel 2 using physical panel c and f.
     Example: Fancy Layout defines 3 virtual panels, panel 1 using physical panel a,b,d,e, panel 2 using physical panel c panel 3 using physical panel f

Bugfixes

  • Do not freeze application if output fails (disconnect serial controller)
  • verify all implemented image rotation for the output devices make sense
  • Matrix device specific settings (bpp, cabling, mapping etc) should be inside the MatrixData class.
  • Merge code of the output package, a lot of duplicate code
  • Resolution 1x96 is unhealthy for the gui...

Rejected backlog features

  • UDP output: support multiple output devices (probably not, alternative: use tpm2.net)
  • Use Mozilla Rhino to create dynamic generators/effects -> using JDK1.6 Rhino is just too slow and cpu intensive (it needs about 40% cpu power with one Rhino js generator). v8 (java8) should a an alternative, however v8 is OS dependent.
