FireLight Mixer and Preset Host

FireMix

FireMix is a host for lighting pattern generators--small programs known as "presets". Use FireSim to see the output.

Installation / Development

Setup instructions are now located on the wiki: Installation Guide

General information and development tips are located on the wiki also, check out the main page to get started.

Usage

python firemix.py demo [--profile] [--playlist listname] [--preset ClassName] [--nogui]

This will start FireMix with the demo scene and the default playlist. The program will look in the data/scenes directory for a file called demo.json.

Use the --playlist option to specify a playlist name (without extension) to load. The program will look in the data/playlists directory for a file called listname.json, and will create it (as an empty playlist) if it does not exist.

Use the --profile option to enable profiling of framerate. With profiling enabled, a log message will be printed any time a preset takes more than 30 ms to render a frame.

Use the --preset option to specify a preset (by class name) to play forever. This is useful for preset development.

Use the --nogui option to disable the control GUI.
