adafruit-circuitpython-pixie 1.2.16

CircuitPython library for Pixie chainable 3W smart LED.

Introduction

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pixie

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pixie

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pixie

Usage Example

import time
import board
from rainbowio import colorwheel
import adafruit_pixie
import busio

uart = busio.UART(board.TX, rx=None, baudrate=115200)

num_pixies = 2  # Change this to the number of Pixies LEDs you have.
pixies = adafruit_pixie.Pixie(uart, num_pixies, brightness=0.2, auto_write=False)


while True:
for i in range(255):
    for pixie in range(num_pixies):
        pixies[pixie] = colorwheel(i)
    pixies.show()
