README

This library is a python interface to the BlinkyTape RGB LED strip. It provides support for rendering full frames on demand to the tape.

This repository includes:

• blinkyLib - Python classes that provide the interface and basic classes to create frames
• test.py - Sample application demonstrating the features of the BlinkyTape library.

Notes

The communication methods and details in this library are based on the PatternPaint sketch and color swirl:

• https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/blob/master/src/PatternPaint/PatternPlayer_Sketch/PatternPlayer_Sketch.ino
• https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/PatternPaint/blob/master/src/PatternPaint/ColorSwirl_Sketch.h
• https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Arduino/blob/master/examples/ColorSwirl/ColorSwirl.ino

You need to install driver first and the easiest method is to install PatternPaint. The driver can also be installed manually if required.
