Kaleidoscope-MyOldFriend

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again

Support performing custom actions whenever the host suspends, resumes, or is sleeping. By default, the LEDs will be turned off on suspend, and the previous LED mode restored on resume.

Using the plugin

To use the plugin, one needs to include the header, and activate it. No further configuration is necessary, unless one wants to perform custom actions.

#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
#include <Kaleidoscope-MyOldFriend.h>

void setup () {
  Kaleidoscope.setup ();

  Kaleidoscope.use(&MyOldFriend);
}

Plugin methods

The plugin provides the MyOldFriend object, which has the following methods:

.toggleLEDs(event)

Turns LEDs off on suspend, restores the previous LED mode on resume. This is called by myOldFriendEventHandler() by default.

Overrideable methods

myOldFriendEventHandler(event)

The myOldFriendEventHandler method is the brain of the plugin: this function tells it what action to perform in response to the various events.

Currently supported events are: kaleidoscope::MyOldFriend::Suspend is fired once when the host suspends; kaleidoscope::MyOldFriend::Sleep is fired every cycle while the host is suspended; kaleidoscope::MyOldFriend::Resume is fired once when the host wakes up.

The default implementation calls MyOldFriend.toggleLEDs. When overriding the function, the default is lost.
