🚨 AGVLEDEffect Library

This library is designed to control multiple LEDs with various effects for your AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle) projects. It includes effects like charging, moving to a charging station, and more. It’s optimized for use with Arduino boards and WS2812 or similar LED strips.

Features

• Charging Effect: Simulates charging by fading LEDs in green.
• Moving to Charge Station Effect: Simulates movement towards a charging station using orange LEDs.
• Load and Unload Effects: Create effects for loading and unloading with blue LEDs.
• Go and Stop Effects: Display visual effects for movement states, such as stopping with red LEDs.
• Right and Left Fill Effects: Gradually fills LEDs in the right or left direction with specific colors.
• Compatible with WS2812 LEDs: Works seamlessly with WS2812 or similar addressable RGB LED strips.

Installation

To use this library in your Arduino project:

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. In the Arduino IDE, go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library.
3. Select the downloaded .zip file.

Or, if you prefer to manually install it:

1. Download the library and unzip it.
2. Move the unzipped folder to your Arduino libraries folder (usually located at Documents/Arduino/libraries).

Pinout

• RIGHT LED 1 -> Arduino Pin 6
• RIGHT LED 2 -> Arduino Pin 7
• LEFT LED 1 -> Arduino Pin 8
• LEFT LED 2 -> Arduino Pin 9

Usage

To use the AGVLEDEffect library in your Arduino sketch, follow these steps:

1. Include FastLed Library.
2. Include the library.
3. Create an instance of AGVLEDEffect for your LED pins.
4. Call the desired LED effects in the loop() function.

#include <AGVLEDEffect.h> // Include the AGVLEDEffect library

// AGVLEDEffect object
AGVLEDEffect ledEffect;

void setup() {
}

void loop() {
  // Charge effect
  ledEffect.chargingEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Moving to charge station effect
  ledEffect.movingToChargeStationEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Loading effect
  ledEffect.loadEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Unloading effect
  ledEffect.unloadEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Right fill effect
  ledEffect.rightFillEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Left fill effect
  ledEffect.leftFillEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Go effect
  ledEffect.goEffect();
  delay(5000);

  // Stop effect
  ledEffect.stopEffect();
  delay(5000);
}

Library Methods

• chargingEffect(): Simulates the charging process by fading LEDs to green.
• movingToChargeStationEffect(): Changes LED colors to simulate movement to the charging station.
• loadEffect(): Creates a loading effect with blue LEDs.
• unloadEffect(): Creates an unloading effect with blue LEDs.
• goEffect(): Displays a green "go" effect on the LEDs.
• stopEffect(): Displays a red "stop" effect on the LEDs.
• rightFillEffect(): Fills LEDs from the right side with an orange color.
• leftFillEffect(): Fills LEDs from the left side with an orange color.
