It has also some animations. In case there is no data to display it plays default animations.
There is no much logic on this side. For more details please check the [Rainbowduino Wiki](http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Rainbow_Cube)
### Implemented functions:
The communication is only one way and without call backs to achive maximum frames per second. Every sent character or number is exactly one byte. So basically it's a byte stream with following format:
| Command | Format | Description | Examples |
| --------------------- | ------------- | ----------- | -------- |
| Blink red/green/blue | b(r|g|b) | Blink for couple of seconds with specified color | br |
| Clear frame | d | Turn all LEDs off | d |
| Stream mode | s<64 bytes>n<64 bytes>S | Displays an unlimited number of frames in stream mode. Draws a frame as soon as 64 bytes (one frame) are received |
## Cube4Fun Application
The application is written in a new apple programming language [Swift](https://developer.apple.com/swift/). The communication part is using the [Poco Library](http://pocoproject.org/) which is written in C++. So it's easy to create a new application for any other device and don't care about TCP/IP communication.
