Creating an AnimationSender

An AnimationSender is constructed with two arguments:

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

sender = AnimationSender.new("10.0.0.254", 5);

Starting the 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 AnimationData instance, then calling sendAnimation with the instance as the argument.

cc = ColorContainer.new
cc.add_color 0xFF
cc.add_color 0xFF00

data = AnimationData.new
data.add_color cc

sender.send_animation data

AnimationData type notes

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

• animation: Animation::COLOR, Animation::ALTERNATE, Animation::RIPPLE, etc.
• continuous: nil, true, false
• direction: Direction::FORWARD, Direction::BACKWARD

Receiving Data

Currently the Ruby library only supports sending data.
