Happy Hacktober! 👻

If you'd like to participate in Hacktoberfest via the Open Lighting Architecture then have a look at some of our sets of issues here:

You can also filter by language if you'd rather write in C++ or Python for example.

I don't know about DMX controllable LED strips, other than DIY projects. A generic fixture can be a good starting point for those DIY projects though.

These are common variations:

• LED type:
  • RGB
  • RGBW
  • White
  • Warm+Cold White
• Pixel control
  • single color
  • individually controllable
• LED density
  • 30 LEDs per meter
  • 60 LEDs per meter
  • 120 LEDs per meter
  • 144 L

Currently the library has a lot of code dumped throughout that has no documentation associated to explain what it does. Additionally, there is no real testing in place to ensure older methods are not broken by never changes etc.

Therefor, implementing correct docstrings throughout the code and implementing proper testing would be a good way to bring up the quality of the library.
