Based on https://github.com/tinue/APA102_Pi
see above, but basically
-
pi should have raspbian 9 on it
-
pi should have SPI enabled
raspi-config
# Interfacing Options > SPI
reboot
- Adafruit_Python_GPIO should be installed
see https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO, but basically
apt-get install build-essential python3-pip python3-dev python3-smbus git
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git
cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO
python setup.py install
for testing on a not-raspberry pi this seemed to work:
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git
python setup.py install
- pyfrc should be installed both on the pi and your workstation
python deploy.sh
will push code and restart the script. To make it run on boot up, you will have to run
systemctl enable lightshow.service
manually on the pi
