# Infinity Vis Rust

Production-oriented greenfield architecture for a low-latency LED control system that targets:

- 6 ESP32-N16R8 nodes
- 3 physical LED outputs per node
- 106 LEDs per output
- 18 logical panels and 1908 LEDs total

The repository is intentionally structured around hard separation of concerns:

- `crates/infinity_config`: versioned project configuration and validation
- `crates/infinity_protocol`: shared control and realtime protocol model
- `crates/infinity_host`: host-side core library, simulation engine, scene/preset API, and CLI
- `crates/infinity_host_ui`: native Rust desktop engineering GUI for mapping, diagnostics, and admin
- `firmware/esp32_node`: ESP-IDF firmware skeleton with explicit driver abstraction
- `docs/`: architecture, protocol, validation, deployment, testing, and acceptance artifacts
- `config/`: example configuration files

Current software priority:

- stable host-core first
- shared host API for every surface
- simulation and mock-first creative workflow
- web UI as the primary creative surface
- engineering GUI for technical operation
- grandMA planned later as an external show-control adapter, not as the system core

The current baseline is intentionally strict about unresolved hardware facts. `UART 6`, `UART 5`, and `UART 4` are treated as unvalidated labels until the real electrical meaning is confirmed.

## Quick Start

1. Install a current Rust toolchain.
2. Review the open validation checklist in [docs/validation_open_points.md](docs/validation_open_points.md).
3. Start from [config/project.example.toml](config/project.example.toml).
4. Inspect the software-first host snapshot with `cargo run -p infinity_host -- snapshot --config config/project.example.toml`.
5. Start the versioned host API plus creative web UI with `cargo run -p infinity_host_api -- --config config/project.example.toml --bind 127.0.0.1:9001`.
6. Open `http://127.0.0.1:9001/` for the creative surface.
7. Start the engineering GUI with `cargo run -p infinity_host_ui`.
8. Use the host CLI to validate the project config before attempting activation.
