Happy new Year to all of you!
Good news right from the beginning: I’ve just pushed a new version of mtXcontrol!
On big thing is support for Novation Launchpad, but maybe way more interesting bit for you is, I’ve move the complete rainbwoduino communication into a separate library which can include into your Processing programs easily. Check:
http://rngtng.github.com/rainbowduino
It now follows a proper API (likely to change) with extended functionality, including handshake and ok/error response Codes. Now, you updating the Buffer, loading/saving from EEPROM, setting the brightness or pinging the device works like charm!
As of that mtXcontrol is now way more stable, autodetects your Rainbowduino, im/exports BMP files, improved color chooser and many more. Download the latets version here:
http://github.com/rngtng/mtXcontrol/downloads
Pls. updated your Rainbowduion firmware (included with the binaries) as well!
Looking forward to your feedback and suggestion, enjoy 2010!
Cheers Tobi
