myDashBoard

My main motivation to start this personal project was to create a personalized dashboard for my own, using 3 Neopixel 8x8 matrixes controlled by a my-RIO board. As consequence of this main motivation, I created 2 APIs, the myRIO-Neopixel (for Neopixel manipulation) and the OpenWeatherLabVIEW (for current weather queries). So this project is meant to test those APIs from a developer point of view.

Features

• Display in Neopixel LED Matrix:
  • Date & Time (In Progress)
  • Audio Analyzer
  • Timer (In Progress)
  • Weather (In Progress)
• Publish local website:
  • Allow user to select the display mode

Architecture

This project uses an ascyncronous architecture with the following processes:

• Central Message Handler - Central entity in charge to distribute commands between all processes.
• Audio Analyzer - Continously analyzes the audio input and publishes the FFT output.
• Draw Frame - Continously sends the raw data from the Neopixel API to the FPGA.
• Display Manager - Manages all the Neopixel display objects.
• Error Handling - Logs errors and is in charge of stopping all the processes in case of failure.
• Sequencer - Highest level process that defines the mode on which the whole application operates.
