jLedStripe

This utility is intended to be used as java driver for Dream Cheeky LED Message Board.

Right now the application is able to conect to the HID device with libusb java library usb4java:

Name	Value
Vendor ID	0x1D34
Product ID	0x0013
Manufacturer String	Dream Link
Product String	USB LED Message Board v1.0
Version	0x01
Serial	Number 1

and decode a 1:1 byte array matrix rapresentign the single led to the legacy protocol of the board. The future imporvements will provide a library to be used in any java aplication for interact in a simply way to the led matrix in a java style approach like:

####Sample direct matrix draw

 	LedStripe led = LedStripe.getInstance();
	
			byte[][] matrix = { 
					{ 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1 },
					{ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
					{ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
					{ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
					{ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
					{ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
					{ 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1 }, };
			led.write(matrix);

####Keep writing some text

		while (true) {
			led.setBrightness(0);
			led.scrollTextLeft( "ABCDEFGHILMNOPQRSUVZ", 300);
			led.scrollTextRight( "ABCDEFGHILMNOPQRSUVZ".toLowerCase(), 300);
		}
