Python 3

Creating an AnimationSender

An AnimationSender is constructed with two arguments:

• ip_address: The IP address of the server (as a string)
• port_num: The port that the client should connect to (as an integer)

sender = AnimationSender("10.0.0.254", 5)

Starting an AnimationSender

An AnimationSender is started by calling the start() method on the instance.

sender.start()

Stopping the AnimationSender

To stop the AnimationSender, call its end() method.

sender.end()

Sending Data

An animation can be sent to the server by creating an instance of the AnimationData class, then calling send_animation() with the instance as the argument.

color = ColorContainer()
color.add_color(0xFF)
color.add_color(0xFF00)

data = AnimationData()
data.add_color(color)

sender.send_animation(data)

AnimationData type notes

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

• animation: Animation.COLOR, Animation.ALTERNATE, Animation.RIPPLE, etc.
• continuous: None, True, False
• direction: Direction.FORWARD, Direction.BACKWARD

Receiving Data

Currently the Python library only supports sending data.
