Hi Cubeheads,
     We're pushing an update to cubetube.  This update should make some important improvements, including:


  • You can now delete apps from cubetube.  If you click on an app that you wrote and click on 'edit code', you'll see a 'delete' button, allowing you to permanently delete any viz that you wrote.
  • The online-offline switch is no more!  The cube is now smart enough to take care of all that automatically.  In particle's recent firmware release, they put in a mode called 'threading' that connects to a known wifi network if one is available, but if no network is available, the user code will continue running.  In the new firmware version, we completely disabled the online-offline switch code.
  • The coding window is larger -- reading debug output in a tiny textbox is a pain, so we expanded the coding window to fill the entire screen.  This makes it much easier to write and debug code on cubetube


We are continuing to improve cubetube -- upcoming features include a way to search the gallery for a specific app, ratings for apps, and a way to view all the apps that a particular user wrote.  Is there another feature that you want to see?  Tell us about it in the comments!

<3,
The L3D team

Changes will be going live by 10am, EST.  There may be a minute or two of downtime as we update the site.

Finally have FastLED for photon and uploaded my first viz to the new CubeTube. Can't figure out how to add a link to my YouTube video. Did I miss the directions?

I would like to propose one thing. An option to switch off the webGL. my linux computers doesnt like it when i open more visuals for the cube. my distro hangs and say i need to close the browser. It would be better to change it when you open the object that the webgl is started at that time, this will make the site less cpu hungry.

Also the latest update is more nice. as i can see now when the cube is being updated.
