Manages animations for LED stripes
Project description
Manages animations for LED stripes
About
glin manages und runs your animations for LED stripes like WS2801, WS2811 and similar.
glin is fully implemented in Python. It uses ZeroMQ as frontend, so it’s possible to use nearly every platform to build graphical or command line interfaces to interact with glin.
glin is in active development. Consider it as unstable!
- features:
fully controllable via ZeroMQ
variable FPS, depending on animation and LED stripe capabilities
multiple ZeroMQ clients can be connected at the same time
talk to LED Strip via UDP
some sample animations (Static Color and Nova)
- upcoming features:
automatically detect and load supported animations via setuptools
load various backends for communicating with LED stripe (UDP, SPI,…)
use configuration files for server side configuration

Python 3 (Python 2 is not supported)
ZeroMQ (pyzmq)
Numpy
setuptools
