LEDMatrix

LEDMatrix is a Python library used to draw and animate on an RGB LED Matrix Board connected via GPIO.

Creator

LEDMatrix was created by and is maintained by Jean-Marc Boullianne, Undergraduate Student at the University of Rochester.

LEDMatrix is based on the rpi-rgb-led-matrix library created by Henner Zeller.

# LEDMatrix Library Test Script
# Running on a 2 32x32 LED Matrix boards
import time
from LEDMatrix import *

def main():

	# Constructing LEDMatrix
	matrix = LEDMatrix(32, 2)

	# Set Background Green
	matrix.setBG(0x00FF00)

	#matrix.fillRect(0,0,15,15, (0,0,255))
	#time.sleep(1)

	square = LEDSquare(15,0,30,15, (255,0,0), matrix)
	matrix.refresh()
	time.sleep(1)

	# Moves square's position 3 pixels to the right
	square.moveX(3)
	matrix.refresh()

	# Sets square's height (based from top left)
	square.setHeight(30)
	matrix.refresh()
	time.sleep(1)

	square.setRGB(0,0,255)
	matrix.refresh()
	time.sleep(1)

	# Shouldn't change when refreshed because it has been destroyed
	square.setRGB(255,0,0)
	square.destroy()
	matrix.refresh();

	# Construct new LEDSquare
	square2 = LEDSquare(0,0,10,10, (0,0,255), matrix)
