GateLink simulator

Project overview · GateLink wireless control · Project log

The simulator below always shows the current main of the GateLink code: the site rebuilds it automatically when GateLink changes. It runs offline in the browser with an emulated gateway, so no hardware is needed. Full screen: the button at the top right of the 3D view.

What to try

  • Track: click a small track together: single, double and triple gates (T-piece towers, one structure) on a 0.5 m floor raster; the drones of the event fly through them in order. The gates use the current part models of the assembly explorer.
  • Event: run a full race with heats, laps and results; every step is a real GateLink command.
  • Presets: build a gate's WLED presets with built-in symmetry (corners to rail centres, centres to corners, waterfall, fountain), map race states and race events to them, export presets.json, and send the whole configuration to the gate over the radio link.
  • Packets / Inspector: every frame on air, byte by byte.

The 144-LED layout and the effects are approximations of WLED; the final wiring is undecided. The event animations on a real gate need GateLink usermod build 8.
