Driving fancy LED lights patterns in python on Raspberry PI zero + python

Blinky McBlinkster

A project to drive ws2811 LED strings with python and raspberry PI

Notes:

• following instructions found here
• don't forget to turn the audio off as mentioned here.

Sound must be disabled to use GPIO18. This can be done in /boot/config.txt by changing "dtparam=audio=on" to "dtparam=audio=off" and rebooting. Failing to do so can result in a segmentation fault.

Hardware:

• Raspberry Pi Zero W
• connectors
• the string lights
• a power supply
