Show various effects on a Pimoroni LED shim.
Project description
led-shim-demo
Display a variety of effects on the Raspberry Pi led-shim from Pimoroni.
The effects are based on the examples given in the base library plus some additions from my fork.
- Binary Clock - Shows hours, minutes and seconds.
- Candle - A flickering candle.
- CheerLights - Synchronize with the CheerLights "Internet of Things" project.
- Coloured Lights - Simple coloured lights like Xmas lights.
- Gradient Graph - A moving colour gradient determined by the height of a sine wave.
- Rainbow - A slowly moving rainbow effect.
- Random Blink - Some random blinking.
- Solid Colours - A basic effect which just shows a sequence of solid colours.
Note, this project is somewhat over-engineered for what it actually does because it's being used as a learning exercise.
