CONNECT ANYTHING
ZERO CODE REQUIRED. ADVANCED LED CONTROL FOR ANYONE.
Why choose ConnectorX?
-
Easy
Say goodbye to writing LED animation code by hand, manually configuring sensors in firmware, and finicky hand soldered connectors
-
Fast
Setup can be done in minutes. Just plug it in and let Lumyn Studio do the work for you
-
Powerful
ConnectorX doesn't just support LED strips. Add a Matrix Zone to display images, animations, and text with ease
LED Strip
Animations
Combine and preview flexible LED animations within the Studio before directly uploading to your ConnectorX
LED Matrix
Text, Images, and GIFs
Use the Motion Editor in Lumyn Studio for layers, keyframes, vector shapes, and GIF import. Preview at your matrix resolution before you send sequences to the device.
Do more with
Modules
Unlock sensor and I/O expansion with Lumyn Labs Modules, configured in Lumyn Studio and read from robot code via the WPILib vendordep.
ConnectorX supports I2C, SPI, UART, DIO, and analog. ConnectorX Animate supports up to two I2C modules. Use pre-built modules or contribute custom firmware back to the community.
Accelerate Your Development
Capturing Sensor Data
Instead of spending hours on product pages and documentation for your sensor to end up non-functional due to an old library or plugging in a wire incorrectly, use ConnectorX Modules to directly configure attached sensors from Lumyn Studio and ensure they work correctly the first time.
Advanced LED effects
Designing animations is hard, and creating them to work without blocking the other important tasks your board is doing is an even larger challenge. With ConnectorX, you can leverage our collection of premade Animations by themselves or in an Animation Sequence. And thanks to the ability to extend our firmware, you can even add custom animations.
LED Matrix Effects
An LED matrix is a great way to show fun graphics or display an important message. By using Lumyn Studio's Image Sequence editor, you can simply import existing images or add your own to build exciting videos that play on any size of matrix. Text commands let your ConnectorX scroll any sequence of characters across a matrix without having to do any additional setup.
FIRST Robotics Competition
Say goodbye to manually creating animations for your LED strips and pouring through documentation when connecting sensors to your RoboRIO.
With our WPILib vendordep, simply specify the Zone/Group, your Animation/Sequence/Image Sequence, and a color/delay to display incredible visuals.
The Vendordep also supports receiving data asynchronously from all of your connected Modules, allowing for familiar Arduino libraries to be leveraged in custom firmware that you can extend!
