This driver provides easy access to the peripherals available on the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat:
- 8x8 LED matrix
- TODO: 5 buttons joystick
- TODO: Sensors
NOTE: these drivers are not production-ready. They are offered as sample implementations of Android Things user space drivers for common peripherals as part of the Developer Preview release. There is no guarantee of correctness, completeness or robustness.
To use the sensehat driver, simply add the line below to your project's build.gradle,
where <version> matches the last version of the driver available on jcenter.
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.things.contrib:driver-sensehat:<version>'
}
// import the SenseHat driver
import com.google.android.things.contrib.driver.sensehat.SenseHat;
// Color the LED matrix.
LedMatrix display = SenseHat.openDisplay();
display.draw(Color.MAGENTA);
// Display a drawable on the LED matrix.
display.draw(context.getDrawable(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert));
// Display a gradient on the LED matrix.
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(SenseHat.DISPLAY_WIDTH, SenseHat.DISPLAY_HEIGHT, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setShader(new RadialGradient(4, 4, 4, Color.RED, Color.BLUE, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP));
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight(), paint);
display.draw(bitmap);
// Close the display when done.
display.close();
