Crashes when not run as root

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

The library panics when not run as root, because the rip-rgb-led-matrix needs to do some low-level stuff which requires root access. Instead of panicing, it might be better to recover and return an error in NewRGBLedMatrix().

Yep, it requires root privileges since it write directly in /dev/mem. Yep, will be nice handle the panic.

I have quickly opened #5. I made the small change in the GitHub editor because I can't access my dev env at the moment. I hope I don't messed up.
