• StandardFirmata-NeoPixel

Install

Install the NeoPixel extensions:

$ gem install artoo-neopixel

OR

Add the gem to your Gemfile:

gem "artoo-neopixel"

Run the example

NeoPixels

Here is a simple example program. It assumes you have a single NeoPixel attached to pin 6 and strobes lot's of random colors at you:

Note: You must update the example to reference the port your Arduino is attached to!

ruby example-neopixel.rb

NeoMatrix

Here is a simple example program. It assumes you have a single NeoMatrix attached to pin 6 and strobes lot's of random colors at you:

Note: You must update the example to reference the port your Arduino is attached to!
