CheapGlyphForge

A .NET 10 MAUI Blazor application for Nothing Phone Glyph LED control and development.

🚧 Work in Progress

⚠️ Pull requests are not being accepted at this time.

Overview

CheapGlyphForge provides C# wrappers around Nothing Phone Glyph SDKs, supporting both Glyph Interface (individual LED zones) and Glyph Matrix (25x25 LED grid).

Features

• Glyph Interface & Matrix control with async/await APIs
• Cross-platform MAUI Blazor app with MudBlazor UI
• Hardware simulator for development without physical devices
• Real-time visualization and pattern designer

Device Support

Device	Device ID	Glyph Interface	Glyph Matrix	Zones
Phone (1)	20111	✅	❌	A, B, C, D (4 zones)
Phone (2)	22111	✅	❌	A, B, C, D, E (5 zones)
Phone (2a)	23111	✅	❌	A, B, C (3 zones)
Phone (2a) Plus	23113	✅	❌	A, B, C (3 zones)
Phone (3)	24111	❌	✅	25x25 matrix only

Technology Stack

• .NET 10.0 RC2 with C# 13
• MAUI + Blazor Server + MudBlazor 8.13.0
• Android API 36 (34+), Windows 10.0.17763.0+, iOS/macOS 15.0+ (simulator)

Project Structure

• Core - Platform-agnostic interfaces (IGlyphInterfaceService, IGlyphMatrixService) and models
• MAUI - Blazor app with simulator and Android native service implementations
• Bindings - Android Java bindings for Glyph Interface and Matrix SDKs

Quick Start

// Glyph Interface (individual zones)
await glyphService.Initialize();
await glyphService.ToggleChannel(GlyphChannel.A, intensity: 255);
await glyphService.AnimateChannel(GlyphChannel.B, period: 1000, cycles: 5);

// Glyph Matrix (25x25 grid)
await matrixService.SetPixel(x: 12, y: 12, intensity: 255);
await matrixService.DrawShape(MatrixShape.Circle, centerX: 12, centerY: 12, size: 10);

Simulator Features

• Glyph Designer - Device-specific LED visualizations with intensity controls and quick patterns
• Matrix Playground - 25x25 grid with click-to-edit pixels and shape generation
• Combined Preview - Sequence playback with timing controls

Requirements

• .NET 10.0 SDK (RC2 build 10.0.100-rc.2.25502.107+)
• Visual Studio 2022 17.12+ or Rider 2024.3+
• Workloads: dotnet workload install android maui-android maui-windows

Building

git clone https://github.com/CheapNud/CheapGlyphForge.git
cd CheapGlyphForge
dotnet build CheapGlyphForge.MAUI/CheapGlyphForge.MAUI.csproj -f net10.0-android36.0 -c Release

CI/CD

GitHub Actions builds Android (APK format), Windows, and iOS/macOS (currently disabled).

Known Issues

• .NET 10 RC2 + Android API 36 bundletool error (using APK format workaround)
• Device detection placeholder implementation
• Matrix visualization at 35% scale in top-right quadrant

Architecture

• Interface-based design with dependency injection
• Platform abstraction: Android uses native bindings, others use simulator
• Java bindings wrap Nothing SDKs with C# Task-based async patterns
• Blazor + MudBlazor UI with code-behind and conditional compilation
