Suncontrol
Python scripts to control a 3-dimensional structure of WS2812b LEDs. Using the Adafruit Fadecandy to control the individual LEDs.
This repositories copies codes from the Fadecandy and the Openpixelcontrol repositories.
Installation
Uses Python 3.6.5 (via Pyenv)
This repository probably only works under OS X as it doesn't contain the Linux and Windows binaries / libraries.
Running
Open two terminal windows to run the server and the actual program.
Server
For development, run gl_server:
$ bin/gl_server -l layouts/sunmachines.json
when connected to Hardware, run fcserver-osx
$ bin/fcserver-osx bin/sunmachines.json
The sunmachiens.json file contains the layout of the LEDs (in the layouts directory) or
the fcserver configuration (there are currently 5 strands of 50 LEDs each connected to the
Fadecandy)
Control Program
Run the python program:
$ python python/experiments.py --layout layouts/sunmachines.json
or the node version
$ cd node
$ node suncontrol.js ../layouts/sunmachines.json
