LED Matrix Panels Program

Description

This is a Java-based application. It writes to the led matrix units from Framework on a linux box.

Included functionalities so far:

• DasBlinkenLights - creates blinkenlights on the panels
• WifiBattery - shows a battery meter and a wifi signal strength and noise meter

The project is built on Java and uses Gradle as the build automation tool.

Features

• Communication Creation: Handles or generates the communication components necessary for the project.
• Randomized Processing: Includes functionality for utilizing random operations (DasBlinkenLights.java).
• Gradle Integration: Simplifies project dependencies and building.

Prerequisites

• Java 17: Ensure you have JDK 17 installed.
• Gradle: Use Gradle for managing dependencies and building the project.

Setup and Usage

1. Clone the Project Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repository-url>

2. Build the Project Use the Gradle wrapper included in the project:

   ./gradlew bootJar

3. Run the Application

   SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=dasblinkenlights java -jar build/libs/panels-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
   SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=wifibattery java -jar build/libs/panels-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

if you use both profiles at once, I suspect that you'll get mostly blinkes with flashes of meters.
