T100k NAL

This project is a simple network abstraction layer for chinese LED Controllers such as the T100k. It is designed as a library which you can integrate in custom projects, but there is also a standalone terminal interface to control individual LEDs.

A description of the network interface is currently being built. The development is done using Linux and Monodevelop.

Note: This project/NAL implementation is not designed to do pixelmapping or similar stuff but to create a simple wrapper to control specific LEDs

Hardware Setup

You need the following hardware to use this software:

  • LED Controller T100-k (maybe other models work too, but are however not tested)
  • RGB LED stripes which use (or are compatible) to the LPD6803 LED drivers.
    • Please note, that these drivers only support 5 bit resolution per channel.
  • A computer with a wired ethernet adapter or a network which is able to transport data using UDP.
    • Every normal computer should be able to do so.

Quick start guide

  • Connect your controller to the computer, setup the computers network adapter accordingly.
    • IP Address: 192.168.60.178
    • Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    • Gateway: none or 192.168.60.1
    • DNS Servers: none
  • Launch the program:
    • Windows: t100k.exe
    • Linux/Mono: t100k.exe
    • A terminal interface will show up and allow you to control individual LEDs for the controller network.

Building yourself

  • Clone this repository
  • Build should work out-of-the-box when using Visual Studio or Monodevelop/Xamarin Studio.
  • Some nuget packages are required:
    • log4net
