This repo contains the (python) code to run Leezenflow.
The hardware setup is described in detail in this guide. The basics are:
- Raspberry PI 3 Model B+
- Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT + RTC for Raspberry Pi
- 32x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel - 5mm Pitch
- 64x32 RGB LED Matrix - 5mm pitch
To test the setup we recommend to check out: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix As stated in the docs, you should disable sound: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix#bad-interaction-with-sound and bridge GPIO Pins 4 and 18 as documented here: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix#improving-flicker

Reminder: use the --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm flag after you've modified the Matrix hat!
- check out this repo this to e.g.
/home/pi/ pip3 install -r requirements.txt- start an endless simulation with
sudo python3 leezenflow.py --test 3
- copy
config.ini.exampletoconfig.iniand adjust the settings as needed - Setup this code to run as a system service, as described in this guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/computers/using_linux.html#creating-a-service
- After testing the service, run:
sudo systemctl enable leezenflow.serviceto enable automatic startup after a reboot
Reminder: do not forget to use the python3 -u flag in your service definition to prevent logging problems
