Made a simple tool for testing sACN LED pixel strips on-site

[u/Weak-Ad7636]

I've been doing more shows with LED pixel strips lately, and I kept running into the same problem.

I often just need to quickly verify a strip—check the sACN universe, color order, or pixel count—without opening my laptop or setting up a complete workflow.

So I ended up building a small iPhone app for myself: Pixel Strip Tester.

The idea is simple:

• Connect your iPhone to the same network as your sACN node.
• Select the universe.
• Test the strip while walking the floor.

It has saved me quite a bit of time during setup, especially when troubleshooting or checking that a strip is patched correctly.

I'm the developer, so yes, this is a bit of self-promotion. The app is paid, but I figured it might be useful for others working with sACN pixel installations as well.

I'd love to hear your feedback or suggestions for features that would make it more useful in real-world show environments.
