A simple Python application to control WS2812B NeoPixel LEDs from a Raspberry Pi.
PiLED hosts a web server on port 1337 to run specific modes with pre-defined effects.
- Copy/git clone the repository to a folder
- Make a virtual environment
- Enter the virtual environment
- Install the requirements
- Exit the virtual environment
- Run the application!
cd /home/pi/PiLED
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install --default-timeout=100 -r requirements.txt
deactivate
sudo /home/pi/PiLED/venv/bin/python3 /home/pi/PiLED/PiLED.py
Used to blackout (turn off) the entire LED strip, over 60 seconds.
Considered the "Normal" mode, contains multiple slow speed and low impact effects.
Contains a collection of strobes and fast moving effects and sequences to send those bangers home.
Various effects using blue/red/white coloured strobes to emulate Police/EMS light bar sequences.
Used to strobe a single colour for a very short amount of time, like a 'tap' button.
Contains a collection of slow fade in and slow fade out effects: Note, these are triggered by SlowFadeIn and by SlowFadeOut as required.
Emulates a fireplace (vertically). Added by @bitbrain-za.
Send a GET request to the application on port 1337 with the URL path of /mode/<name>.
A HTTP 200 will be returned on success, a HTTP 404 will be returned on failure (mode not being found). The mode name is case-insensitive (and converted to uppercase for internal processing).
e.g. GET http://127.0.0.1:1337/mode/party will return a HTTP 200 and activate the Party mode.
