Demo Code for HexBright

Modified HexBright Code

Features from the various demo examples and some additional functionality from users jaebird and bhimoff have been combined into a basic low-med-high-dazzle firmware and an accelerometer-driven adjustable brightness firmware. I find these two cases to be the most useful. The sketches have been placed in folders for Arduino IDE compatibility. I plan to also add additional power-saving features (sleep modes) beyond the timed power-off to help extend battery life. I realize the sleep mode savings will be dwarfed by the LED current drain, but every mAh counts.

HexBright_Basic

Based on the factory firmware with some modifications: button presses cycle through off, low, medium, and high modes; hold down the button while off for dazzle mode; hold down for one second in low or medium mode to turn off; auto power-off based on accelerometer non-motion.

HexBright_Adjust

Based on the hexbright4 firmware to adjust the brightness based on tilt orientation. I plan to have the set brightness stored (EEPROM) and recalled at next power-on.

HexBright Demo Code

The following have been unmodified code-wise. I have re-named them and put them in folders like the modified ones.

HexBright_Demo_Morse

Flashes out a message in morse code every time you press the button. Nothing else. The message and speed are easy to change- you can see and change both in the first lines of code.

HexBright_Demo_Taps

Hold the button down, and with your other hand firmly tap on the light. Tap some more times, and let go of the button. The exact sequence of taps will be recorded and then played back as flashes until you press the button again to turn off.

HexBright_Demo_Momentary

Light turns on only while the button is being held down. That's it.

Removed Demo Code

I removed the dazzle and fade code as separate sketches since they didn't seem all that useful by themselves when the functionality can be added to the Basic and/or Adjust code.
