oscscheduler

oscscheduler works by reading a schedule file written in json. This file specifies a start time and end time for the show which will be run each day.

The show itself is a series of osc actions that will be run in a loop until then end time.

'Usage'

var ShowScheduler = require("oscscheduler");
 
//Load Show File
var show = require("./show.json");  // The Show File to Load - More details below
 
 
//set up show
var thisSchedule = new ShowScheduler(show);
 
 
 
thisSchedule.on("beforeStart", function(){
 	//If there are things that need be done before the show starts
    
})
 
 
 
thisSchedule.on("afterEnd", function(){
    
 
})
 
var currentTime = new Date();
currentTime.setHours(19, 59, 55, 0)
//Schedule the show to start - Optionally pass the current time for testing purposes
 
//This line schedules the show to start
thisSchedule.activate(currentTime);
