This repository contains code for controlling a 3D RGB Christmas tree using a Raspberry Pi. The tree used in this project is available here.
To use the code in this repository, you'll need to have a Raspberry Pi connected to the 3D RGB Christmas tree. You'll also need to install the RGBTree Python library, which provides a simple interface for controlling the lights on the tree. You can install the library by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pip install rgbtree
Once you have the RGBTree library installed, you can download the code in this repository by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/JelleWierenga/Raspberry-pi-christmas-tree.git
The repository contains several Python scripts for controlling the lights on the Christmas tree. Here's a brief overview of each script:
Blinking Lights.py: Makes the lights on the tree blink on and off.Fading Lights.py: Gradually fades the lights on the tree in and out.Random Lights 3-6.py: Randomly changes the colors of 3 to 6 lights on the tree at a time.Rainbow Lights.py: Displays a rainbow pattern on the tree.Rotate Lights.py: Rotates a single light around the tree.Wave Lights.py: Creates a wave effect on the tree.
To run any of these scripts, navigate to the Raspberry-pi-christmas-tree directory in your terminal and run the script using Python. For example, to run the Blinking Lights.py script, you would run:
python Blinking Lights.py
