This is a simple light-chasing demo, controlled from the keyboard. No special hardware required. The lights are dislayed on a tcl based GUI, instead of a the text based interface used in the basic demo. It's controlled using the 'Left' and 'Right' buttons on the GUI. Before running the demo you must first compile and install the tcl extensions under the /lang/tcl directory. Please follow the instructions in /lang/tcl/README To start the demo: cd demo/basic_tcl; make To quit: press 'Exit' on the GUI The Chaser module (chaser.c) is a primitive `light chasing' program. The direction of movement can be changed using the `left' and `right' points; these are notionally push-buttons, but in this demo they are controlled by the 'Left' and 'Right' buttons on the GUI. The speed of the chaser can be configured with the "delay" setting in the "Chaser" section of matplc.conf The demo terminates when the `quit' point comes on ('Exit' button). Notes: - `demo' itself should be done in a generic fashion, rather than by hard-coding all the modules; every program will need something to start up all the modules at the beginning and shut them all down at the end (perhaps giving them time to shut themselves down if they want to).
