etherdream.rs

A library for the EtherDream laser DAC.

This is an early work in progress (2016-12-14). Things work, but use at your own risk. The API hasn't been thought out, and there is no error handling (a hallmark of any decent Rust project). I do intend to finish a production-ready version of the library within a month or two.

I'm beginning to build out Rust libraries and tools for laser projection:

• Etherdream Emulator, a visual emulator for the EtherDream laser projector DAC

• ILDA.rs, a Rust parser for the ILDA laser display format.

There are also a number of existing programs I've written that talk in EtherDream:

• Laser Asteroids, an EtherDream laser projector video game I wrote in Python for the Fall 2012 SPSU Game Jam.

• Laser Pong, another EtherDream video game I wrote in Python during Summer 2013.

• Untitled Game, written for two laser projectors (and two EtherDream DACs) by myself and Scott Adams for the Fall 2013 SPSU Game Jam. It's quirky, but demonstrates multi-projection. Scott worked on the game while I worked on the network and graphics stack.

• Laser Testbed, which contains lots of my early testing with laser projection. There are dozens of animations, shapes, primitives, etc.

• Laser Client, which projects slides containing GML (Graffiti Markup Language) and poorly serialized SVG objects, which can be individually programmed with animation and 2D transformations. (The code is terrible.)
