flaschenclient

A python library for sending simple animations to the flaschen taschen server (fork). Currently it's only working with the forked server which can be found here: https://github.com/werling/flaschen-taschen

Before using this library please have a look at the original project: https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen

Some examples how to use the python library can be found in the examples folder. The test display has the resolution 256x96.

The main features are:

loading and playing images/gifs

Also defining the width, height, duration and the layer of the image/gif

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2)

Define the position of the image/gif

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, x_offset=128-32, y_offset=48-32)

Blur in and/or blur out

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=4, layer=2, x_offset=128-32, y_offset=48-32, blur_out_frames=10)

Move image/gif with constant speed

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, x_offset=0, y_offset=48-32, x_vel=4)

Move image/gif with acceleration

FLaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, x_offset=0, y_offset=0, x_vel=12, y_gravity=1)

Rotate image/gif with constant or acceleration speed

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, x_offset=0, y_offset=0, rot_vel=20)

Limits, Default mode is stop all motion when a limit is exceeded

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, y_offset=48-32, x_min=0, x_max=256-64, y_min=0, y_max=96-64, x_vel=8)

Limits, mode: inverse all motion directions when exceeding a limit

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, y_offset=48-32, x_min=0, x_max=256-64, y_min=0, y_max=96-64, x_vel=8, y_vel=2, action_at_limit="inverse_all")

Limits, mode: inverse only the motion direction which exceeded a limit

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, y_offset=48-32, x_min=0, x_max=256-64, y_min=0, y_max=96-64, x_vel=8, y_vel=2, action_at_limit="inverse_single")

Limits, mode: stop the motion which exceeded a limit

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, y_offset=48-32, x_min=0, x_max=256-64, y_min=0, y_max=96-64, x_vel=8, y_vel=2, action_at_limit="stop_single")

Zooming and Limits

FlaTaClient.send(im, width=64, height=64, timeout=10, layer=2, x_offset=128-32, y_offset=48-32, action_at_limit="inverse_all", zoom_vel=2, width_max=128, width_min=8)

Of course you also can do all at once ;)
