Octoprint LED Strip Controller Integration Script

Summary

This repository contains the scripts necessary for the integration of the LED Strip Controller project into Octoprint. The architecture of the system is such that a Python Script is used to control the LEDs assigned to the 3D printer shelf over an IP socket. This Python script can be called directly from the Telegram Plugin linked below, however, the Octolapse plugin does not interact with python scripts. Therefore basic bash scripts are used to call the python script and the bash script is called by Octolapse.

System Architecture

The architecture of the system as of the 28/08/2023 is shown below:

At the moment the project requires the communications python code which is copied directly from the software repository, this should be replaced with a submodule in the future. Which uses Google Brotobuff for multiple language support.
