Micropython-pixels

Micropython classes to animate neopixels

Getting Started

Upload the pixel.py to your device using uPyCraft IDE Import pixel in your main.py Follow examples in main.py from the repository

Prerequisites

• Neopixels/ws2812b strip
• NodeMCU or ESP32
• Basic knowledge of electronics

Guide to get started with micropython on ESP8266

• Get started with micropython

Docs

Import the pixel module in your main.py

import pixel

The module exposes the below two classes

• PixelBlink

Initialize an Object as shown below

p1 = PixelBlink(0, 255, 165, 0, 700)
    """
      @param id: number/location of neopixel LED
      @param R: Red color value
      @param G: Green color value
      @param B: Blue color value
      @param interval: LED On/Off interval
    """

The Object p1 now has a method next() which when called updates the neopixel LED with its next state

• PixelFadeInOut

Initialize an Object as shown below

p2 = PixelFadeInOut(1, 0, 0, 255, 255, 192, 203, 200, 30)
    """
      @param id: number/location of neopixel LED
      @param R1: Red color value to begin from
      @param G1: Green color value to begin from
      @param B1: Blue color value to begin from
      
      @param R2: Red color value to end to
      @param G2: Green color value to end to
      @param B2: Blue color value to end to
      @param steps: No of times updates to be performed on LED in given interval
      @param interval: transition to complete in given interval
    """

The Object p2 now has a method next() which when called updates the neopixel LED with its next state

• Refer main.py from the repository for implementation and examples.
