LED SIGN

Setup

pip install makersign

Integration

• Flash the Symbol.ino Arduino code to every Arduino within the chain

• Change the values within the config.py file to match the number of LED segments in each symbol

• Running this will create a config file called the sign.txt this stores the position of every symbol you have in your sign

• Re-running the config script will allow you to drag and drop the symbols until they're in their appropriate position clicking the down arrow will save any configuration to a text file

• Once configuration is done I recommend creating a back up just to have around

• If you want to test that everything's working in the chain just run the Test.ino code on the first LED symbol in your chain this should just flash all of the LEDs in the chain red green and blue.

• In order to use this code with another game create a pygame game

• Initialize an LED sign object with the config filename as the first argument and the Arduino port value as the second argument LedSign.load("sign.txt",'COM4')

• And every frame that you want the sign to respond call LedSign.update(screen: Pygame.surface, events: list[Pygame.events])

• In order to show the ui call LedSign.draw(screen: Pygame.surface)
