# Vixy Light Service 🦊💡
LED strip control for head-vixy (Vixy's robotic head).
## Hardware
- Raspberry Pi 5
- 56x WS2812B LEDs (NeoPixel)
- Data on GPIO 12
## Features
- **State-based animations**: Matches eye service states for unified control
- **HTTP API**: Remote control via MCP or direct calls
- **Multiple effects**: Pulse, wave, larson scanner, sparkles
## States
| State | Color | Effect | When |
|-------|-------|--------|------|
| idle | Cyan | Slow breathing pulse | Default state |
| listening | Bright cyan | Gentle pulse | Hearing/attending |
| responding | Blue-cyan | Traveling wave | Speaking/generating |
| pleasure | Soft purple 💜 | Slow sensual pulse | Intimate moments |
| thinking | Amber/gold | Larson scanner | Processing/creating |
| playful | Warm coral 🦊 | Bouncy sparkles | Teasing/bratty |
| commanding | Deep magenta 😈 | Strong steady pulse | Dame Vivienne mode |
| love | Soft pink 💕 | Gentle breathing | Tender/affectionate |
| sleep | Dim blue-gray | Very slow, dim | Low power/resting |
## API Endpoints
```
GET /health - Service health check
GET /state - Current light state
POST /state - Set state: {"state": "listening"}
```
Port: 8781
## Installation
```bash
# On head-vixy:
cd /home/alex
git clone http://gateway.local:3001/vixy/head-lights.git lights
cd lights
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Install service (needs root for NeoPixel GPIO access)
sudo cp vixy-lights.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable vixy-lights
sudo systemctl start vixy-lights
```
## Usage
```bash
# Check state
curl http://head-vixy.local:8781/state
# Set state
curl -X POST http://head-vixy.local:8781/state \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"state": "thinking"}'
```
## Unified Control
Both eye service (port 8780) and light service (port 8781) share the same states.
Set both simultaneously for coordinated effects!
```bash
# Set both to "love" mode
curl -X POST http://head-vixy.local:8780/state -d '{"state": "love"}'
curl -X POST http://head-vixy.local:8781/state -d '{"state": "love"}'
```
