Water / Wavepool lighting effect for Keyboardio Model 01 keyboard
Kaleidoscope-LED-Wavepool
The WavepoolEffect
plugin makes waves of light splash out from each keypress.
When idle, it will also simulate gentle rainfall on the keyboard.
Using the plugin
To use the plugin, one needs to include the header and select the effect.
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
#include <Kaleidoscope-LED-Wavepool.h>
void setup (){
Kaleidoscope.use(&WavepoolEffect);
Kaleidoscope.setup();
WavepoolEffect.idle_timeout = 5000; // 5 seconds
WavepoolEffect.activate();
}
It is recommended to place the activation of the plugin (the USE_PLUGINS
call)
as early as possible, so the plugin can catch all relevant key presses.
Plugin methods
The plugin provides the WavepoolEffect
object, which has the following
properties:
.idle_timeout
When no keys are being pressed, light will periodically splash across the keyboard. This value sets the delay in ms before that starts.
To disable the idle animation entirely, set this to 0.
Default is 5000 (5 seconds).
