CircuitPython library for NeoPixel LEDs.
Project description
Adafruit CircuitPython NeoPixel
Higher level NeoPixel driver that presents the strip as a sequence. This is a supercharged version of the original MicroPython driver. Its now more like a normal Python sequence and features slice support, repr and len support.
Colors are stored as tuples by default. However, you can also use int hex syntax to set values similar to colors on the web. For example, 0x100000 (#100000 on the web) is equivalent to (0x10, 0, 0).
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-neopixelTo install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-neopixelTo install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-neopixelUsage Example
This example demonstrates the library with the single built-in NeoPixel on the Feather M0 Express and Metro M0 Express.
import board
import neopixel
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.NEOPIXEL, 1)
pixels[0] = (10, 0, 0)This example demonstrates the library with the ten built-in NeoPixels on the Circuit Playground Express. It turns off auto_write so that all pixels are updated at once when the show method is called.
import board
import neopixel
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.NEOPIXEL, 10, auto_write=False)
pixels[0] = (10, 0, 0)
pixels[9] = (0, 10, 0)
pixels.show()This example demonstrates using a single NeoPixel tied to a GPIO pin and with a pixel_order to specify the color channel order. Note that bpp does not need to be specified as it is computed from the supplied pixel_order.
import board
import neopixel
pixel = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.D0, 1, pixel_order=neopixel.RGBW)
pixel[0] = (30, 0, 20, 10)Contributing
