Time Light Tester

Tester app and driver of the Time-a-Light traffic light device, for iOS and OS X.

Setup

Use one of these two alternatives to use the library:

• Add everything inside the Classes and Assets folders to your target.
• Use CocoaPods and add BSAudioLightController to your project.

Usage

1. Include BSAudioLightController.h into your controller
2. Hook up user defaults key BSAudioLightEnabledPrefKey with your UI and store boolean value YES to enable it or NO otherwise.
3. Setup this class as a singleton object (or create only one instance of it).
4. Call audioLightItem: setActive: to activate or de-activate the signal lights or buzzer.

Note that the signal audio will only go through the headphone jack since this is the way the device is meant to be used.

Please take a look at the example tester and play around with to get a feel how to use the driver and how the device works.

Device API

Time-a-light takes in commands as square wave tones from the audio jack.

Signal	Left Channel	Right Channel
Green	1000 Hz	-
Yellow	2000 Hz	-
Red	3000 Hz	-
Buzzer	-	1500 Hz

As of this writing only one light or the buzzer can be active at one time due to Time-a-light's hardware constraints. The driver gets around this limitation by cycling the tones when more than one light is supposed to be active, giving a blinking light effect. Testing shows that 5Hz is the fastest rate that the device can recognize tone changes.

Please note that I'm publishing this library as open source as a courtesy since I'm also using it myself in one of my apps. However I won't be able to provide much support for it in case of API changes, etc.
