Light modes for eight LEDs using Rapsberry Pi

Raspberry Pi eight LED modes

Requirements: ✈️

This program contains several lighting modes using Raspberry Pi (any type, but tested on Zero) and is designed for following connection:

Modes (list is not yet complete) 🚧

• allon - Turns all LEDs on

• alloff - Turns all LEDs off (used mostly in testing)

  ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ ⚫

• kitt - Lights LEDs from center to the edges like in Knight Rider

• righttoleft - as in lefttoright, but in the other direction

• tocenter - as in kitt, but from the edges to the middle

Installation: 🌻

navigate to project directory and execute

pip install .

or if you have both python2 and python3 installed, execute

pip3 install .

Usage: 🚀

If you set up the wiring, it's time to make it glow! Usage is simple as follows:

pi_eight_leds MODE [--speed 0-1000] [--leavelit] [--iterations 1-...]

where MODE is any mode from top list or help, --leavelit keeps LEDs lit within the transition. Other parameters are pretty self explanatory, aren't they?
