A Chrome app to control a blinkstick.
Requires Chrome dev channel to access chrome.hid, and a version newer than Chrome 41 in order to access onDeviceAdded and onDeviceRemoved events.
You can install the latest stable version of BsC from the Chrome Web App Store.
To run the most up-to-date version of BsC, clone the repo, then open your Chrome extensions page (chrome://extensions) and switch on Developer mode by checking the tickbox at the top right. Then use the "Load Unpacked Extension..." button to find BsC's folder and install it as an app.
When the app is running plug in a Blinkstick and it'll be detected automatically. Note: BsC doesn't yet detect the number of available LEDs, so you'll get 8 controls. Using controls for LEDs that don't exist will throw out errors.
You don't actually need a Blinkstick to use BsC. Click on the Emulators menu at the top of the app, then select a device type to emulate. A 3D visualisation of the device will be displayed, and all the controls will work with it.
BsC includes a small server instance that accepts basic controls for the Blinkstick. To use it, connect to 127.0.0.1:8888 and send a JSON string in the format of {i:,r:,g:,b:} eg {i:0,r:255,g:0,:b:0} to turn the 0th LED red.
The advantage of using the bridge is that you can control a Blinkstick using any programming language that can send a TCP packet.
