chip-led-controller

A module for integrating LED lightstrips (or in my case Glass lighting clips by Koch) with a NextThing co. C.H.I.P

Hardware setup

The wiring is based on [https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/]. I am using IRLZ34N MOSFETs and an external 12v power source for transmitting 12v into the LEDs.

This project assumes the following connection between color gates and GPIO ports:

• XIO0 (gpio1013 on Kernel 4.4) -> Green
• XIO1 (gpio1014 on Kernel 4.4) -> Blue
• XIO2 (gpio1015 on Kernel 4.4) -> Red

Environment setup

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python-pip flex bison chip-dt-overlays -y

copy code to /opt/led-controller

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python main.py

running as a service

copy led-controller.service to /etc/systemd/system/

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo service led-controller start
