BrainCandy LED wall

Plays the folder of gifs continuously, looping each gif for a while before moving on to the next one.

Hardware requirements: a raspberry pi connected to a chain of nine 32x32 RGB LED matrix panels (e.g. adafruit) using a matrix hat (adafru.it/2345). The nine panels must be arranged in a grid like so:

[9][8][7]
[4][5][6]
[3][2][1]

In this repo, the gen_map python function remaps the coordinates of the pixels from a straight chain into the grid arrangement. Input signal goes into panel 1 in the lower right corner and snakes through the other panels in order. It's possible to extend this into a grid of 12 panels, which is allegedly the upper limit of what the matrix hat can support.

Software requirements: Tested on Raspbian. Requires Adafruit raspberry pi RGB matrix control code (https://github.com/adafruit/rpi-rgb-led-matrix) and Bibliopixel animation library (https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/BiblioPixel).
