The Bookshelves Flaschentaschen is an array of LEDs to light up the books in the Library.

  • STATUS: It may be out of commission after moving to 272 and in need of reconfiguration.

LED Strips[edit | edit source]

Network protocol[edit | edit source]

The LEDs are controlled by an esp8266 that's on the network. The network address is bookcase.noise. It uses the flaschen taschen UDP protocol on port 1337. The bookcase is addressed as a 810x1 pixel grid. More info and libraries can be found on Github. Check out client/rainbowbookcase.py or client/squares.py for simple examples of how to write code to control the bookcase.
