Software to control a LED light strip via Raspberry Pi

Control LED strip with Raspberry Pi and Python (WIP)

API

Usage

Start the API server with python api.py

By default it runs at http://127.0.0.1:5000

Endpoints

endpoint: /set-color
method: POST
query params: color=<r,g,b>

endpoint: /shift
method: POST
query params:
    start_color=<r,g,b>
    end_color=<r,g,b>
    period=<int> (seconds)
    cont=<bool>

endpoint: /turn-off
method: POST
query params: None

CLI

Set LED strip color

python main.py --color=<comma-separated RGB color value> (e.g. --color=253,8,226)

Shift between colors

python main.py --shift-start=<comma-separated RGB color value> --shift-end=<comma-separated RGB color value> --shift-period=<seconds> --shift-cont=<bool>

Arguments

--shift-start Shift from this color, e.g. 253,8,226

--shift-end Shift to this color, e.g. 8,251,255

--shift-period Shifting period, i.e. how long time to go from start color to end color (seconds). Default: 1

--shift-cont Continious shifting. If True, keep switching between start and end colors. Otherwise shift once. Default: False
