Akela-LED-Stalker

status

The StalkerEffect plugin provides an interesting new typing experience: the LEDs light up as you tap keys, and play one of the selected effects: a haunting trail of ghostly white lights, or a blazing trail of fire.

Using the plugin

To use the plugin, one needs to include the header, and select the effect.

#include <Akela-LED-Stalker.h>

void setup () {
  Keyboardio.setup (KEYMAP_SIZE);

  StalkerEffect.configure (STALKER (Haunt, {0xff, 0, 0}));
  Keyboardio.use (&StalkerEffect, NULL);
}

It is recommended to place the activation of the plugin (the Keyboardio.use call) as early as possible, so the plugin can catch all relevant key presses. The configuration can happen at any time, but using the STALKER macro is highly recommended.

Plugin methods

The plugin provides the StalkerEffect object, which has the following method:

.configure(effect)

Set the effect to use with the plugin. See below for a list.

It is recommended to use the STALKER macro to declare the effect itself.

Plugin helpers

STALKER(effect, params...)

Returns an effect, to be used by the .configure method of the StalkerEffect object. Any arguments given to the macro, are also passed on to the effect. If the effect takes no arguments, use NULL.

Plugin effects

The plugin provides the following effects:

Haunt([color])

A ghostly haunt effect, that trails the key taps with a ghostly white color (or any other color, if specified).

BlazingTrail()

A blazing trail of fire will follow our fingers!

Further reading

Starting from the example is the recommended way of getting started with the plugin.
