Creating an AnimationSender

An AnimationSender is constructed with two arguments:

• host: The IP address of the server (as a c-style string)
• port: The port that the client should connect to (as an int)

AnimationSender sender("10.0.0.254", 5);

Starting the AnimationSender

An AnimationSender is started by calling the start() method on the instance. start() will return 0 if the connection is successful, -1 if there is an error.

sender.start();

Stopping the AnimationSender

To stop the AnimationSender, call its end() method. end() will return 0 if the disconnection is successful, -1 if there is an error.

sender.end();

Sending Data

An animation can be sent to the server by creating an instance of the AnimationData struct, then calling sendAnimation with the struct as the argument.

ColorContainer cc;
cc.addColor(0xFF);
cc.addColor(0xFF00);

AnimationData data;
data.addColor(cc);

sender.sendAnimation(data);

AnimationData type notes

The C++ library uses the following values for animation, continuous and direction:

• animation: COLOR, ALTERNATE, RIPPLE, etc.
• continuous: DEFAULT, CONTINUOUS, NONCONTINUOUS
• direction: FORWARD, BACKWARD

Receiving Data

Currently the C++ library only supports sending data.
