Control Software for the C-Hack Panels
The C-Hack Panels are a set of LED-Panels. See c-hack.
The aim of the software is to send the right bytes over serial to the panels at ther right time,
so the panels dispaly the intended animation.
This new software was made to replace the old Sequencer.
To run releases: Java 1.8 JRE

If you want your system to always have the latest version you can clone this repo and run the updateAndStart.sh shell script (linux only, sry).
If you want to test locally, you can see what the panels would show, by just opening the file sim/index.html with a browser.(Tested in Firefox 59)
This project was created with eclipse, therefore you can just import the whole repo as a eclipse project.
