Py-Lights (name pending) is a program to bind MIDI inputs different effects (actions) that output to 5050 LEDs.
- Configure hardware (I followed this tutorial)
- Get python-rtmidi
pip install python-rtmidi - Get pigpio
sudo apt-get install pigpio python-pigpio
To add actions to the program, use setup.py to add actions, then add inputs to them (see setup_example.py).
Inputs have 5 different modes:
| trigger | trigger_hold | toggle | hold | knob |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activated in a single instance | Activated in an instance and while held | (todo) | Activated while held | Activated when a knob is updated |
A list of actions can be found here. Parameters are declared on object creation as optional parameters while settings are used for variables that can change throughout use.
| Action | Parameters (default) | Settings (default) |
|---|---|---|
| Action (base) | Color (black) MUTE (False) | |
| Color | Color (white) | Intensity (0) |
| ColorTrigger | Color (white) Attack (0) Sustain (20) Release (0) | Attack (0) Sustain (20) Release (0) |
