#Library for driving Lixie edge-lit displays! Disclaimer: This library is still in early development and may change drastically in the coming weeks! It also depends on the "FastLED" library from Daniel Garcia, so make sure you have that installed as well!

This library allows for easy writing to Lixie digit displays! It takes care of all the addressing and updating for you!

The Lixie library relies on the FastLED library from Daniel Garcia, so make sure you have that installed as well!

With Arduino Library Manager:

1. Open Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries in the Arduino IDE.
2. Search for "Lixie", and select the latest version.
3. Click the Install button and Arduino will prepare the library and examples for you!

Manual Install:

1. Click "Clone or Download" above to get an "Lixie-arduino-master.zip" file.
2. Extract it's contents to the libraries folder in your sketchbook.
3. Rename the folder from "Lixie-arduino-master" to "Lixie".

#include "Lixie.h" // Include Lixie Library
Lixie lix;         // Set class nickname for faster coding

void setup() {
  lix.begin();                     // Initialize LEDs
  lix.color_on_hsv(127,255,255);   // Set color with HSV (CYAN)
}

void loop() {
  lix.write_int( millis() );       // Write millis() to the displays
  delay(1);
}

lix.begin();

Inititalizes the underlying FastLED library and sets up variables like the digit colors.

lix.clear();

Clears all displays, all lights off.

lix.write_int(unsigned int input);

Clears the displays, and pushes in a multi-digit integer as in: 2016

lix.write_string(char* input);

Clears the displays, and pushes in a char array as in: "2016". This ignores any non-numeric chars in the string, allowing you to send "12:52:47 PM" and have the displays show "12 52 47" for a clock.

lix.color_on_rgb(byte r, byte g, byte b);

Sets the "on" color of the digits using RGB. This is the color of an active number in the display. (Default: 255,255,255)

lix.color_off_rgb(byte r, byte g, byte b);

Sets the "off" color of the digits using RGB. This is the color of all inactive numbers in the display. (Default: 0,0,0)

lix.color_on_hsv(byte h, byte s, byte v);

Sets the "on" color of the digits using HSV. This is the color of an active number in the display. (Default: 0,0,255)

lix.color_off_hsv(byte h, byte s, byte v);

Sets the "off" color of the digits using HSV. This is the color of all inactive numbers in the display. (Default: 0,0,0)

Any advice or pull requests are welcome. :)
